✨ wine.spec_sheet
Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the historic village of Eguisheim, is a cornerstone of Alsatian winemaking heritage. The Expression Unique Riesling Brut represents a brilliant marriage of Alsace's noble Riesling grape with the traditional sparkling method. Sourced from the diverse clay-limestone terroirs nestled along the protective Vosges foothills, the grapes are harvested by hand to preserve their pristine acidity. Following a secondary fermentation in the bottle and careful aging on its lees, this sparkling wine reveals a sophisticated profile characterized by fine, persistent bubbles, vibrant notes of lemon zest, green apple, and white blossoms, anchored by a distinctive mineral backbone that is the hallmark of Alsatian Riesling.
