Domaine Amelie & Charles Sparr, Grand Cru Riesling “Brand” Alsace, France 2020 (750mL)
This deep, dry Riesling profundity hails from “Brand” a granite-rich Grand Cru parcel in the village of Turckheim. The parcel that supplies this bottling, situated right next to the vines of Zind-Humbrecht, was purchased by the Sparr family in the 1960s.
Full-cluster pressed to tank and fermented on ambient yeasts, this 2020 has sneaky density while remaining bone-dry and full of mineral grip. It was aged 18 months in tank on its fine lees, a practice which lent dimension and a hint of creaminess to the final product. It’s a riot of ripe stone fruits, mountain wildflowers and wet rocks, perfectly suited for an Alsatian classic like choucroute garnie.
