✨ 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
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.
