The wines from Alsace date back to 589 A.D., but Cremant d’Alsace has more recent beginnings, starting in 1900. Dopff au Moulin (founded in 1574) was the first to produce Cremant d’Alsace in the Method Champenoise style. Cremant d’Alsace received AOC status for sparkling wine in 1976. Two types of Cremant are produced today, resulting in about 2.5 million+ cases of Cremant d’Alsace production annually:
Wolfberger's Cremant d'Alsace Rose Brut displays a lovely delicate salmon color with active, small bubbles. Round and full-bodied, this Cremant Rose displays beautiful watermelon and strawberry aromas cascading in a smooth finish. A minimum of 15 months bottle aging before disgorging ensures ripeness.
"Medium copper-orange. Clean, bright bouquet showing notes of citrus and berries. Very fresh with bright cherry-raspberry flavors. A very easy to drink, nicely balanced, just off dry sparkler. Perfect with sushi. All Pinot Noir given a minimum of 15 months on the lees."

"Lemon notes shine on the nose of this pink sparkler, accompanied by a hint of red apple. The frothy palate is dry, slender and fresh. Something bracing and clean is met by just a little red-apple mellowness. - ANNE KREBIEHL MW"

"Tender hints of strawberry arise on nose and palate. This is slender but rounded and beautifully dry. It edges up towards elegance on the finish.- Anne Krebiehl, MW"

"Medium silvery pink color. Bright, interesting, savory aromas of pickled cherries and carrots, vanilla nut brittle, and pomegranate molasses and vinegar with a soft, racy, spritzy, dryish medium body and a tingling, engaging, breezy cranberry chutney and spiced lemon finish with fruit tannins and no oak. A mouthwatering, savory rose sparkler that will shine at the table."
