✨ wine.spec_sheet
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.
