product Details

Hugel Vendange Tardive Selection-De-Grains-Noble Tokay 1976 Alsace 2x70cl

The history of Alsace, flitting between French and German ownership for centuries, imparts itself within the region's wines - a cacophony of grapes native to both countries, ennobled and respected individually, and produced in a common aromatic style.

Selection De Grains Noble: made from grapes affected by the "Noble Rot", botrytis cinerea, which dehydrates the grapes to raisins, leaving only the sweet sugary pulp with which to make the most incredible sweet wine.  Vendanges Tardive (late harvest) asserts that the grapes were left on the vines for an extended period of time and so picked at full ripeness with a high natural sugar content, resulting in a wine with a slightly sweet character.

This sweet wine is made from Tokay d'Alsace grapes which were both late-harvested once positively affliced by botrytis cinerea.

Please note that there shall be a shipping charge for 2 bottles applied to this lot.
