✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
