Domaine Charles Sparr - Syrah VDF 2022

This Alsace Syrah is rich and tannic with terrific energy.

Domaine Sparr is the combination of two incredibly experienced Alsatian wine families, with the Sparr family being in Alsace since 1634, Charles is the 12th generation. Since the union of Amélie and Charles, these two young vignerons have strived to bring to life a range of Alsace wine 100% biodynamic. Continuing to expand and purchase vineyards from both sides of the family, in 2013 they realised their dream and launched their eponymous winery. First selling all grapes to negociants until they found the courage to bottle under their own label in 2017.

One of the first great Syrahs from Alsace, where this grape is a recent arrival. Stunning interplay of ripe blackberry, pepper and vanilla aromas. Rich and tannic on the medium- to full-bodied palate with terrific energy. Long, plush and youthful finish. From the Grand Cru Mambourg site. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. 95 points - James Suckling. 100% Syrah
