✨ Technical Specifications
Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the historic village of Eguisheim, is a cornerstone of Alsatian winemaking heritage. The 'Cuvée des Seigneurs' Riesling pays homage to the 'Lords of Alsace' who historically championed Riesling as the noble king of Alsatian grapes. Crafted from 100% Riesling grown on the sun-drenched, shelter-protected slopes of the Vosges Mountains, this wine reflects the region's complex mosaic of limestone and clay soils. Vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its pristine varietal purity, it showcases the classic dry, high-acid profile of Alsatian Riesling, marked by vibrant citrus, white blossoms, and a distinct stony minerality that reflects its ancient terroir.
🍾 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.
