DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
This is the Sparr family's Riesling from Schoenenbourg, the Grand Cru slope that overlooks the villages of Riquewihr and Zellenberg in Alsace. Amélie and Charles Sparr farm biodynamically, with Demeter certification.
The soil here is gypsum and sandstone, and the wine is aged on its fine lees in stainless steel. The result is dry and tightly built. Expect candied citrus, ripe peach, dried lemon peel and a herbal, peppery edge, with chalky texture and firm acidity. It needs air, and it rewards patience.
Decant it for an hour or pour it into big glasses, and serve around 50F. Try it with roast chicken, pork belly, smoked fish or a washed-rind cheese such as Munster. If you can wait, a few more years in the cellar will soften it.
Bottle size: 750ml
