Alsace Collection - Wine Pack

Domaine Sparr - Pinot Blanc "Pensee" 2023

This excellent Alsace pinot blanc combines impressive substance with good freshness and enough citrus zest aromas to be very animating, the little touch of tannin underlining this very neatly in then long, dry finish. From a high-altitude vineyard in the Munster Valley. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. 93 points, James Suckling.

Domaine Sparr - Pinot Noir "Amour interdit" 2021

A powerful and seriously structured pinot noir with impressive concentration for the difficult vintage. Tons of rooty depth and a very healthy tannin structure. The finish is long and harmonious with subtle chalky character. The wine is called forbidden love, because this pinot noir comes from the Grand Cru Mambourg site, but it is illegal to put those words on the label. 60 year old vines. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. 93pts - James Suckling.

Domaine Sparr - Pinot Noir "Jardin D'Eden" 2022

What a fragrant nose this Alsace pinot noir has. Wild herb, licorice, and sour cherry notes cascade over you. Very concentrated and elegant, with its power deftly underplayed. Very long, dynamic finish that’s dense and uplifting. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. 96pts, James Suckling.

Domaine Sparr - Riesling "Sentiment" 2024

The citrus and wet-stone intensity gives this wonderful vitality. This interlocks neatly on the crisp, medium-bodied palate. A very vibrant finish that pulls you back for more of this wonderfully invigorating wine. A cuvee of wines from all this producer’s single-vineyard sites. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. 93 points, James Suckling.

Domaine Sparr - Riesling Grand Cru "Brand" 2020

Such an elegant wine for this Grand Cru that tends towards aromatic richness, the pineapple and basil notes very delicate on the nose. On the medium-to full-bodied palate there’s more succulence, but even there the crushed-stone minerality keeps everything very cool and straight. Very long, focused finish with so great vitality and very fine tannins. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. 95 points, James Suckling.

Domaine Sparr - Riesling Grand Cru "Schoenenbourg" 2017

So much candied citrus, angelica, dried sage and thyme in the nose! However, this compact and highly structured Alsace Grand Cru dry riesling is still very youthful and really needs a lot of aeration (decanting and big glasses!) to open it up. Stunning complexity of fruit, herbal and mineral character at the imposing yet very cool finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2025. 95 points, James Suckling.
