✨ Technical Specifications
Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the medieval town of Eguisheim, is a cornerstone of Alsatian winemaking history. The "Collection Signature" Muscat represents the classic, dry style of Alsace Muscat, a grape variety celebrated in the region since the 16th century. Unlike the sweet, fortified Muscats of the Mediterranean, this Alsatian expression is fermented completely dry. It is typically crafted from a blend of Muscat d'Alsace (Muscat à Petits Grains), which brings structure and intense aromatics, and Muscat Ottonel, which contributes delicate floral notes. Grown on the sun-drenched, geologically diverse slopes of Alsace, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the incredibly vibrant, primary fruit character. The result is a wine that captures the pure essence of biting into a fresh, ripe grape, backed by the region's signature mineral freshness.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1902 in the historic medieval village of Eguisheim, Wolfberger began as the Cave Coopérative Vinicole d'Eguisheim, among the pioneering winegrower unions of Alsace. Today, the cooperative unites over 300 member families cultivating roughly 1,200 hectares spanning across the Haut-Rhin and Bas-Rhin, including holdings across 15 Grand Cru sites such as Pfersigberg, Eichberg, and Rangen. Viticultural parcels traverse diverse geological foundations—ranging from classic limestone-clay and marl to fractured granite and steep volcanic scree—sheltered by the rain shadow of the Vosges Mountains. Viticulture adheres to rigorous sustainable guidelines through HVE Level 3 and Agri-Confiance certifications, complemented by dedicated certified-organic bottlings. Wolfberger has cemented its international reputation as both an innovator and benchmark producer of AOC Crémant d'Alsace, alongside precision-led still varietals. Its benchmark wines range from vibrant Riesling and Gewurztraminer Vieilles Vignes to richly concentrated Vendanges Tardives and botrytized Sélection de Grains Nobles.
