✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from Alsace, a region famed not only for its noble grape varieties but also for its centuries-old tradition of fruit distillation, Wolfberger's Crème de Framboise represents a liquid distillation of the forest's bounty. Established in Eguisheim in 1902, the Wolfberger cooperative has long preserved the artisanal heritage of Alsatian distillers. This luscious liqueur is crafted by macerating ripe, fragrant red raspberries in neutral spirit, allowing the alcohol to slowly extract the delicate, perfumed essences of the fruit before it is sweetened to achieve its signature velvety, 'crème' texture. It captures the pure, nostalgic soul of wild summer berries gathered from the foothills of the Vosges Mountains.
🍾 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.
