✨ Technical Specifications
Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the historic village of Eguisheim—the legendary birthplace of Alsatian viticulture—stands as a guardian of Alsace's winemaking heritage. This Grand Cru Riesling is sourced from some of the region's most prestigious, sun-drenched hillside terroirs, where complex soils of limestone, marl, and granite force the vines to dig deep for nutrients. Crafted from 100% Riesling, the wine undergoes slow, temperature-controlled fermentation and extended aging on fine lees to preserve its vibrant, crystalline purity. The result is a majestic white wine that beautifully balances intense petrol and citrus aromas with a profound, flinty minerality, embodying the centuries-old legacy of Alsatian cooperative dedication and terroir-driven excellence.
🍾 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.
