Pierre Sparr Gewürztraminer 2020
Alsace, FranceThis gewürztraminer comes from vineyards stretching from Thann (Haut- Rhin) to Kintzheim (Bas-Rhin), spanning 50 miles north to south, and across a mix of granite, limestone, gneiss, chalk, and clay soils. This was fermented in stainless with no MLF, and then aged briefly in stainless. Off-dry, with a welcome (only) 15 g/L RS, this is a sleek, streaming gew with lime leaf, grapefruit, white peach, and ripe lychee. There's a lovely gingersnap spicing seasoning the finish. Nice freshness and balance here.Tasted: 12 January 2022Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:ON | $17.95 | 750ml | LCBO |
