✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the historic village of Eguisheim, the cradle of Alsatian viticulture, Wolfberger has been a cornerstone of the region's winemaking heritage since 1902. The Vieilles Vignes Brut is a testament to this legacy, crafted from select old vines that dig deep into Alsace's complex, mineral-rich soils. This sparkling wine is produced using the traditional method, primarily utilizing Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois grapes. The old vines naturally yield fewer, more concentrated grapes, resulting in a Crémant of remarkable depth. After secondary fermentation in the bottle, extended aging on the lees develops a refined effervescence, balancing vibrant green apple and citrus notes with a delicate, yeasty complexity reminiscent of freshly baked brioche.
