✨ wine.spec_sheet
Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the medieval village of Eguisheim—the historic cradle of Alsatian viticulture—presents the Collection Signature Riesling as a tribute to the region's classic style. This wine is crafted from 100% Riesling grapes harvested from diverse clay-limestone plots across Alsace, capturing the essential tension between vibrant fruit and stony minerality. Historically, Alsace Riesling has been celebrated since the 15th century for its noble character. Wolfberger's signature vinification emphasizes temperature-controlled stainless steel fermentation to preserve the pristine, aromatic purity of the grape, avoiding oak influence to let the natural acidity and subtle petrol notes shine through.
