✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1902 in the historic village of Eguisheim, Wolfberger was established when visionary local winegrowers united to create one of Alsace's most prominent and influential cooperative houses. A pioneer in regional innovation, the producer played an instrumental role in the official establishment of the Crémant d'Alsace AOC in 1976, harmonizing centuries-old regional tradition with modern winemaking precision. Wolfberger carefully oversees a vast mosaic of Alsace terroirs, emphasizing sustainable viticulture and meticulous parcel selection. The house is widely acclaimed for its classic single-varietal expressions—including aromatic Gewurztraminer, mineral-driven Riesling, and structured Pinot Noir—alongside elegant Crémant sparkling wines, lusciously concentrated Vendanges Tardives, and traditional fruit brandies.
