✨ wine.spec_sheet
Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the historic village of Eguisheim, is a cornerstone of Alsatian winemaking heritage. The 'Expression Unique' Chardonnay Brut highlights the exceptional adaptation of Chardonnay to the mosaic soils of Alsace, where the grape is uniquely reserved for sparkling wines. Crafted using the traditional method with secondary fermentation in the bottle and careful aging on the lees, this sparkling wine captures the vibrant energy of the region. The nose opens with delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus, and a hint of toasted brioche, supported by a fine, persistent mousse. It reflects the centuries-old tradition of sparkling winemaking in Alsace, combining artisanal precision with the cooperative's pioneering spirit.
