✨ wine.spec_sheet
In the lush valleys and forested slopes of Alsace, the tradition of distilling wild fruits is as ancient and revered as winemaking itself. Cave du Vieil-Armand honors this heritage with their Framboise, a traditional specialty that captures the intense, aromatic essence of ripe raspberries. Sourced from the abundant berry patches of the region, the fruit undergoes careful maceration and traditional processing to preserve its delicate, volatile esters. The result is a vibrant tribute to Alsatian forest folklore, delivering a pure, concentrated burst of fresh raspberry perfume and a warming, refined finish that has graced local tables for generations.

Drawing from unique terroirs characterized by granite and silt soils, the winery is celebrated for its precise, expressive Crémant d'Alsace sparkling wines, including the Bienvenue Brut and Chateau Ollwiller expressions, the latter sourced from one of the region's few historic castle estates. Committed to sustainable winegrowing, they produce an elegant range of traditional Alsatian varietals, from mineral-driven Sylvaner to rich Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. The estate is located at 1 Route de Cernay, 68500 Wuenheim, Alsace, France, and their official website is https://www.cave-vieil-armand.com.
