✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
