✨ wine.spec_sheet
Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the historic village of Eguisheim—the cradle of Alsatian viticulture—is a pioneer in the region's winemaking history. The 'Collection Signature' Gewurztraminer is a vibrant tribute to this heritage, showcasing the pure, exuberant character of Alsace's most aromatic grape. Grown on diverse clay-limestone soils that define the Rhine Valley foothills, the grapes benefit from a unique microclimate protected by the Vosges Mountains. This wine is crafted to highlight Gewurztraminer's classic, opulent profile, featuring intense aromas of exotic lychee, fresh rose petals, and warm baking spices like ginger and clove. Historically, the 'spicy' (Gewürz) mutation of the ancient Traminer grape has found its spiritual home in Alsace, and Wolfberger's traditional slow, temperature-controlled fermentation preserves this rich, off-dry, and wonderfully textured style.
