✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
