✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the historic village of Eguisheim, is one of the oldest and most prestigious wine cooperatives in Alsace, France. While celebrated for its exceptional Alsace wines, Wolfberger also preserves the ancestral regional tradition of distilling fruit brandies, or Eaux-de-Vie. The Poire Williams is crafted from the highly aromatic Williams pear. To capture the absolute essence of the fruit, the pears are harvested at peak ripeness, fermented, and then distilled in traditional copper alembic stills. The resulting clear spirit is aged in neutral vessels to preserve its pristine, intense orchard-fruit perfume and clean, warming finish. This spirit represents a centuries-old Alsatian heritage of capturing the fleeting flavors of the harvest to enjoy year-round.
🍾 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.
