✨ Technical Specifications
Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the heart of Alsace, is legendary for preserving the region's ancient distilling traditions alongside its winemaking. Framboise represents their classic spirit crafted from ripe raspberries. The production relies on macerating the fruit followed by careful distillation in traditional copper alembic stills to capture the intense, volatile aromatics of the forest fruit. This reflects the historical Alsatian custom of utilizing wild orchard and forest fruits harvested from the Vosges foothills, creating a highly aromatic, pure expression of fresh raspberry backed by generations of artisanal expertise.
🍾 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.
