✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
