Pierre Sparr Extrem Riesling 2011

Alsace, FranceThe old saying you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it seems a fitting description of the Sparr Extrem Riesling. The 2010 seemed to be in stores forever and as good as it was it has finally been exchanged for another delicious version of the cutting edge Alsace riesling. We love the fresh, dry attack, the honey, pear and citrus nose that previews similar cool steely, guava lemon flavours. Food friendly and under screwcap. Excellent value.Tasted: 18 February 2014Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
