✨ Technical Specifications
Wolfberger, a historic cooperative founded in Alsace in 1902, is celebrated not only for its fine wines but also for its traditional fruit liqueurs. The Pêche de Vigne (vineyard peach) liqueur pays homage to a classic viticultural tradition. Historically, winemakers planted these small, highly aromatic, red-fleshed peaches at the ends of grapevine rows. Because these peach trees are highly sensitive to powdery mildew, they served as an early warning system for vineyard managers to protect their vines. Wolfberger captures the essence of this heirloom fruit by macerating the wild peaches in neutral spirit, resulting in a liqueur that is intensely aromatic, velvety, and bursting with the concentrated flavor of fresh stone fruit.
🍾 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.
