✨ 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
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.
