✨ 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
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.
