Wolfberger Pinot Gris Grand Cru stallion

The Hengst is one of the most well-known Grands Crus of Alsace — a lime-rich, south-facing terroir near Wintzenheim that suits Pinot Gris particularly well. Wolfberger, the large Alsatian winegrowers' cooperative with over 100 years of history, brings a Pinot Gris with real depth here.

In the glass, it shows the typical style of the Hengst: ripe yellow pear, quince paste, and a hint of white pepper, underlaid by a slightly smoky minerality. The body is lush, the texture almost oily — the tannin of the Pinot Gris carries the wine into the long, slightly spicy finish.

The acidity is moderate and well-embedded, which makes it accessible already now. With a few years of cellar time, it develops additional complexity.

The Domaine

Wolfberger

Wolfberger is the leading wine brand of Alsace – founded in 1902 in Eguisheim, known by this name since 1976, and to this day a benchmark for Alsatian quality. Around 450 contract winegrowers cultivate 1,200 hectares of vineyards over almost 100 kilometers from north to south, with 15 Grand Cru sites and around 13,000 plots.

As the largest Crémant producer in Alsace, Wolfberger produces around half of the regional sparkling wines – with long yeast contact times according to the Méthode Traditionnelle. Organic certification for more than 15 years and several ISO awards prove the serious claim to quality and sustainability.
