✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
