Wolfberger

Wolfberger is the leading wine brand of Alsace – founded in 1902 in Eguisheim, known under this name since 1976, and still a benchmark for Alsatian quality. Around 450 contracted winegrowers cultivate 1,200 hectares of vineyards stretching almost 100 kilometers from north to south, encompassing 15 Grand Cru vineyards and approximately 13,000 parcels. As the largest Crémant producer in Alsace, Wolfberger produces roughly half of the region's sparkling wines – using the traditional method of extended lees contact. Organic certification for more than 15 years and several ISO awards attest to its serious commitment to quality and sustainability.

Wolfberger – the No. 1 from Alsace

What began in 1902 in Eguisheim as a cooperative of local winegrowers has evolved into France's most important Alsatian wine brand. The cooperative, originally founded as Cave d'Eguisheim, grew carefully and consistently over the decades. In 1972, the company began producing sparkling wine using the traditional method – bottle fermentation, as practiced by the great Champagne houses. Four years later, in 1976, a double milestone was reached: the Crémant d'Alsace appellation was officially established, and with it, the Wolfberger brand name was introduced. Since then, these two names have stood for the very best that Alsace has to offer in sparkling wine.

Standards in cellar and vineyard

Today, around 450 contract winegrowers work for Wolfberger, cultivating a total of 1,200 hectares of vineyards stretching almost 100 kilometers from northern to southern Alsace. Approximately 13,000 parcels – including 15 Grand Cru vineyards – contribute to the portfolio. Production facilities are spread across four locations: Orschwihr, Eguisheim, Colmar, and Dambach-la-Ville. At the headquarters in Eguisheim, only still wines are produced; all Crémant production is concentrated in Colmar, where cellar master Déborah Ruffing has been responsible for operations since 2017. Jérôme Keller has managed the cellar at the headquarters since 2011.

Strict lees contact times apply in the Crémant cellar: traditional cuvées mature for at least 16 months sur lie, single-varietal wines for at least 18 months, and the Crémant Prestige for a full 36 months. This patience pays off – Wolfberger now produces around half of all sparkling wines in Alsace, with a total output of 13 million bottles per year, including six million bottles of Crémant. Annual sales are nearly 60 million euros.

Responsibility and awards

Wolfberger takes sustainability seriously – not as a marketing buzzword, but as a lived practice. The company has been certified organic for more than 15 years, AgriConfiance certified for more than 10 years, and holds ISO certifications 9001, 22000, and 50001. In 2025, Wolfberger was named the best cooperative in Alsace by Meininger Verlag in an international cooperative tasting – an accolade that reflects the company's high standards in the market.

Style and grape varieties

Wolfberger focuses on the classic strengths of Alsace. The emphasis is on aromatically robust white wines and meticulously crafted sparkling wines. The winery produces three main lines:

Vin d'Alsace – Still wines from Riesling to Gewürztraminer to Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc
Crémant d'Alsace – sparkling wines according to the Méthode Traditionnelle, Brut and Rosé, from Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois and Pinot Noir
Eaux-de-Vie and Spiritueux d'Alsace – the house's traditional line of distillates

The Gewürztraminer Signature displays a golden color in the glass, with aromas of roses, pepper, and cloves – aromatic, powerful, and creamy on the palate with a long finish. The Crémant Brut is made primarily from hand-picked Pinot Blanc and Auxerrois grapes; the Crémant Rosé exclusively from Pinot Noir, with fine bubbles and an elegant rosé hue.
