From: Sigolsheim, Haut-Rhin, Alsace, France
Varietal: Riesling
Taste: In the glass, the wine presents a pale straw yellow color with green reflections. The nose is precise and lifted, opening with classic Alsace Riesling markers—lime blossom, fresh white peach, and a touch of wet stone. Subtle notes of green apple, crushed herbs, and lemon zest develop with air. On the palate, the wine is dry, linear, and structured, driven by high acidity and a firm mineral core.
Pairing: Dry Alsace Riesling pairs well with dishes that feature acidity, herbal notes, or a hint of spice. The wine’s electric structure and mineral cut align naturally with seafood, poultry, and fresh vegetables. Classic Alsatian pairings include choucroute garnie or trout with almonds, where the wine’s clarity helps balance the fat and salt.
About: Pierre Sparr in the town of Sigolsheim, part of Kaysersberg Vignoble in the Haut-Rhin, Alsace. The winery is among the most historically linked to the region, with a winemaking tradition dating back to 1680, the year Jean Sparr was born. Over the centuries, the family steadily expanded its holdings and influence, most notably in 1785 when François Pierre Sparr enlarged the estate’s vineyard area.
