Wolfberger, established in 1902 in the historic village of Eguisheim, is a cornerstone of Alsace's winemaking and distilling heritage. Beyond their celebrated AOC Alsace wines, Wolfberger preserves the ancestral art of distilling and liqueur-making. 'Violette' is a specialty liqueur that captures the delicate, floral essence of wild violet petals. This traditional French creation is crafted through careful maceration to extract the precise aromatic compounds and striking purple hue of the violet flower. It represents a bygone era of French mixology and digestifs, reflecting the diverse artisanal capabilities of the Alsatian cooperative and their deep connection to regional botanical traditions.
