Wine Description:
Pierre Sparr Grande Réserve Gewurztraminer is a distinguished offering from the renowned Maison Pierre Sparr. Situated in the heart of Alsace, between Sigolsheim and Obernai, this wine is a testament to the region's rich vineyard heritage. Harvested manually and with meticulous care, the grapes undergo a swift journey to the winery, ensuring minimal oxidation. Vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks, where the juice is cold settled before fermenting at controlled temperatures between 18°C and 20°C. This process lasts about a month, followed by stabilization and storage in tanks until bottling. Throughout this period, the wines undergo rigorous analytical and sensory evaluations to maintain their exceptional quality. Pierre Sparr Grande Réserve Gewurztraminer embodies the essence of Alsace's terroir, presenting a vibrant and aromatic style that captures the essence of this esteemed region.
