From the Rangen Grand Cru vineyards, located in Thann Le Vieux; the southernmost Grand Cru vineyard in Alsace. This Grand Cru owes its name to the terrain's extreme height variation - Rangen means 'slope' in old German. The steep hillside slopes reach 85% in some places, requiring that the harvest be done by abseiling or roping down.
Archives attest that the "Rangenwein", "the warmest and most violent wine in the country", was made here by monks from the ends of the 13th century. The vineyard totals 9 hectares, of which Wolfberger has 4. The upper part is planted with Riesling, the lower part with Pinot Gris.
Riesling Rangen Grand Cru shows a lovely yellow pale color with a gold rim. It offers mineral, spicy and minty aromas with some eucalyptus notes, tropical fruits, grapefruit. Fresh, racy and well-balanced, exotic on the finish with long lasting flavors.
