✨ Technical Specifications
Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the historic village of Eguisheim, is one of Alsace's most storied wine cooperatives. 'La Louve' (The She-Wolf) pays homage to the untamed wilderness of the Vosges Mountains, where wolves once roamed the ancient forests bordering the vineyards. Crafted from Pinot Blanc (frequently blended with its close relative Auxerrois), this wine captures the essence of Alsace's diverse clay-limestone terroirs. The region's exceptionally dry, sunny microclimate, created by the rain shadow of the Vosges, allows the grapes to develop rich flavors while maintaining a crisp backbone. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel to preserve its bright aromatics, 'La Louve' is a classic, approachable expression of Alsatian Pinot Blanc, offering delicate floral notes, fresh orchard fruit, and a soft, balanced texture.
🍾 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.
