WINE DESCRIPTION
Pierre Sparr Grande Réserve Gewurztraminer Demi-sec is a distinguished offering from Maison Pierre Sparr, sourced from meticulously selected parcels across the Alsace vineyards spanning from Sigolsheim to Obernai. This off dry Gewurztraminer epitomizes the region's expertise in crafting aromatic white wines. Harvested manually and swiftly to avoid oxidation, the grapes undergo a cold settling process before fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 18°C and 20°C. This careful vinification preserves the wine's vibrant fruit character and delicate floral notes. With a residual sugar content of 12.9 g/L, Pierre Sparr Grande Réserve Gewurztraminer Demi-sec strikes a harmonious balance between sweetness and acidity, offering a luscious palate of lychee, rose petal, and exotic spices. Ideal as an apéritif or paired with spicy Asian dishes, this wine showcases both the craftsmanship of its producer and the distinctiveness of Alsace's terroir.

Alsace has a long and varied history of winemaking, dating back to the Romans. 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. Alsace was annexed by France in the late 19th century, and since then, the region has become known for its distinctive wines.CUSTOMER RATING
