✨ 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
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.
