✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
