✨ Technical Specifications
Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the historic village of Eguisheim, is a cornerstone of Alsatian winemaking and was instrumental in establishing the Crémant d'Alsace AOC in 1976. This Vieilles Vignes Rosé Brut is crafted from old-vine Pinot Noir, the sole grape permitted for Alsatian sparkling rosés. These deep-rooted vines draw complexity from Alsace's mosaic of terroirs, sheltered by the Vosges Mountains. Vinified using the traditional method with secondary fermentation in the bottle, the wine undergoes extended lees aging to develop its signature creamy texture, fine effervescence, and vibrant red fruit character.
🍾 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.
