The Sparr family has been in the Alsatian wine business since 1634. Today, the family estate is in the hands of Charles Sparr, the twelfth generation, who, in 2013, joined forces with his wife, Amélie Buecher, also from a renowned family of winemakers, to create a unique estate that encompasses the vineyards of both families. Since 2017, the vineyards have been converted to organic cultivation.
The Alsatian Riesling Grand Cru Legende is produced with Demeter-certified biodynamic grapes from a plot located 380 meters above sea level, with vines of about 35 years of age. Here the vines sink their roots into a predominantly calcareous soil and enjoy south-east exposure. The particular soil and climate conditions guarantee the production of an elegant, rich, and mineral wine. After harvesting and fermentation at a controlled temperature, the wine rests on the lees.
In the glass, the wine reveals a clear and bright color with straw tones and golden reflections. On the nose, it opens with a broad bouquet of citrus notes, pineapple, and ripe yellow fruit, followed by mineral and aromatic herb hints. On the palate, it is fresh and succulent, with a strong mineral vein and a pleasant flavor. It is rich, juicy, and refreshing with a long and slightly spicy finish. It is the ideal wine for seafood and shellfish.
