Hugel Jubilee Reserve Personelle Gewurztraminer 1997
Varietal: Gewurztraminer
Vineyard: Hugel
Region: Alsace, France - Other regions
A very great vintage in Alsace with record levels of maturity. Ideal weather conditions in the Spring, with just the right amount of rain, were followed by a drought that lasted from August right through to early November. The crop was average in size, but the grapes were perfectly sound, with in some cases quite low acidity. An excellent vintage for all grape varieties, but exceptional as far as Gewurztraminer is concerned, 1997 is a vintage of rich, full-bodied wines.
