Pierre Sparr
Pinot Blanc Grande Réserve
Pinot Blanc from Thann in the Haut-Rhin to Kintzheim in the Bas-Rhin (80.5 kilometers, or 50 miles, north to south); mostly flat vineyards. No irrigation; trellised vines; hand-harvesting.
Maison Pierre Sparr owns 15 hectares (37 acres) of vineyards in the heart of the Haut-Rhin and sources fruit from 150 hectares (370 acres) of vineyards owned by established growers who adhere to the Sparr winery’s high standards of viticulture. Care of the vineyards is of paramount importance. Their philosophy is that “the quality of a fine wine already exists in the grape.” In other words, the quality of a wine is determined by its vineyard origin.

Gold color with light reflections. Elegant floral nose on white flowers and pear notes. The wine is fresh as full-bodied, gastronomic. A charming, thirst-quenching wine. Good length with a lot of flavors.

"Aromas of lemon and lime zest, slate and salinity hint at a wine that's racy and linear. And indeed, it is just that, but soft hints of pineapple and grapefruit-gummy candy add a lively, playful aspect. The medium-length finish is savory and mineral. This is an easygoing wine that will be well suited to cocktail parties and snacks."
