WINE DESCRIPTION
Pierre Sparr Pinot Gris is a refined expression of Alsace winemaking, crafted by the renowned Maison Pierre Sparr. The grapes are sourced from meticulously selected parcels between Sigolsheim and Obernai, benefiting from the region's calcareous soils. Harvested manually in 100 kg containers and swiftly delivered to the winery to prevent oxidation, the grapes retain their pristine quality. The juice undergoes cold settling and ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 18°C and 20°C for about a month. The wine is then stabilized and carefully monitored both analytically and gustatively before bottling. Pierre Sparr Pinot Gris is characterized by its balanced structure, elegant fruit flavors, and a crisp, refreshing finish, making it a versatile and delightful choice for any occasion.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Pierre Sparr Pinot Gris offers a lovely and inviting bouquet of white flowers, ripe pear, and a hint of honey.The palate is medium-bodied and has a pleasant, balanced acidity. Crisp flavors of pear and honeycomb dominate the mid-palate, with a subtle hint of melon on the finish. The overall impression is of a harmonious and expressive wine that drinks well in its youth.

The region has been under the control of both France and Germany over the centuries, and this has had a significant influence on the wines produced here.
