✨ Technical Specifications
Wolfberger, founded in 1902 in the historic village of Eguisheim, is a cornerstone of Alsatian winemaking history. The 'W' Riesling Grand Cru represents the pinnacle of the cooperative's collective expertise, sourcing pristine fruit from Alsace's highly coveted Grand Cru slopes. Nestled in the rain shadow of the Vosges Mountains, these vineyards benefit from a unique, dry microclimate and incredibly complex soils composed of limestone, marl, and sandstone. This noble Riesling is crafted to express the pure, crystalline essence of its terroir. Vinified with minimal intervention and aged on its fine lees, it reveals a striking tension between vibrant citrus acidity, white floral aromas, and a deep, stony minerality that develops classic petrol nuances with age.
🍾 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.
