✨ Technical Specifications
Wolfberger, a historic cooperative founded in 1902 in Eguisheim, Alsace, is celebrated not only for its expressive wines but also for its centuries-old distilling heritage. The Neo Menthe Verte represents a modern, vibrant expression of this traditional distilling expertise. Crafted in Alsace, this green mint liqueur is produced by carefully macerating select mint leaves to extract their intense, refreshing essential oils, resulting in a liqueur that balances sweet herbaceousness with a crisp, cooling finish. This creation pays homage to the historical role of Alsatian distillers who originally crafted herbal elixirs for medicinal and digestive purposes, transforming those ancient secrets into a contemporary spirit designed for modern mixology.
🍾 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.
