Description
The Wolfberger range is also offered in sophisticated sparkling wines. Produced according to the traditional method defined by the Appellation d’Origines Contrôlées (AOC) Crémant d’Alsace, these effervescents are made with five varietals of the Alsace valley region to which is added the Chardonnay grape. The fine, light bubbles of the Crémants make these sparkling wines perfect companions to any festivity.
Wines of noble heritage made strictly by the book
Such as Champagne, we generally speak of Alsace Crémant in the singular, but it would be more appropriate to talk about them in the plural, Alsace Crémants, as they are so multi-faceted and are present in so much varieties. The Alsace Crémants are made from Alsatian varietals, either alone or blended. Classically, the Alsace Crémant is made from Pinot Blanc. Riesling brings lively, fruity notes, the Pinot Gris richness and good structure. The Alsace Crémant Rosé is made from the Pinot Noir, also used to make the Blanc de Noirs, which is white. Always made from the varietals classed AOC Crémant d’Alsace, the Crémant grapes are harvested before the other grapes in order to take advantage of their best balance and harmony. Produced according to the methode traditionnelle, Alsace Crémants are racked in a nearly inverted position where they age patiently. Then, after 12 months minimum, they are riddled or turned so that the sediment collects in the neck of the bottles, awaiting disgorgement.
