✨ Technical Specifications
Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the historic medieval village of Eguisheim, is a cornerstone of Alsatian winemaking heritage. The 'Collection Signature' Pinot Gris showcases the cooperative's deep-rooted expertise and the unique terroir of Alsace, sheltered by the Vosges Mountains which create a dry, sunny microclimate. Pinot Gris, historically linked to the legendary 'Tokay d'Alsace' moniker—which folklore suggests was brought to the region by General Lazare de Schwendi in the 16th century—thrives in Alsace's diverse soils. This wine is crafted to highlight the grape's natural opulence, offering a rich, round palate balanced by vibrant acidity. It undergoes gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its expressive aromas of ripe yellow fruits, honey, and a signature touch of smoky complexity.
🍾 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.
