✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the historic village of Eguisheim, represents the pinnacle of Alsatian cooperative winemaking. Their Grand Cru Pinot Gris is a testament to the region's rich history, famously intertwined with the legend of Baron Lazare de Schwendi, who allegedly brought vines back from Hungary in the 16th century, leading to the grape's historical moniker 'Tokay d'Alsace.' Sourced from prestigious Grand Cru vineyard sites characterized by diverse limestone, clay, and marl soils, this 100% Pinot Gris benefits from exceptional microclimates and strict yield limits. The wine is crafted using traditional slow fermentation and extended lees aging, resulting in a remarkably complex, full-bodied white wine. It showcases a luscious texture, vibrant acidity, and a signature aromatic profile of ripe stone fruits, honey, dried apricots, and a distinct smoky minerality.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Wolfberger blev grundlagt i 1902 i den historiske landsby Eguisheim, da en gruppe fremsynede lokale vinbønder slog sig sammen om at skabe et af Alsaces mest markante og indflydelsesrige kooperativer. Huset har altid været en pioner inden for regional nytænkning og spillede blandt andet en afgørende rolle ved den officielle etablering af Crémant d'Alsace AOC i 1976, hvor århundreders traditioner blev forenet med moderne vinfremstilling. Wolfberger forvalter i dag en omfattende mosaik af terroirs i Alsace med stort fokus på bæredygtig vindyrkning og minutiøs parcellokalisering. Huset er bredt anerkendt for sine klassiske enkeltdruevine – heriblandt aromatisk Gewurztraminer, mineralsk Riesling og velstruktureret Pinot Noir – samt elegante mousserende Crémant-vine, rigt koncentrerede Vendanges Tardives og traditionelt frugtbrændevin.
