Winery - Pierre Sparr
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Intensely fresh wine, crisp apples and bright fruit with a light touch of pineapple juice. The acidity is mouthwatering, with a lightly perfumed edge. Screwcap.

A blended wine, with a dominance of Sylvaner and Muscat. It is very perfumed, soft and spicy. The acidity lies easily under the lychee and soft white fruits. Screwcap.

A medium-bodied, food-friendly version of Pinot Gris, without the high residual sugar levels of some. Still, it is off-dry, with apple, pear and honey notes buttressed on the finish by fresh acidity and a hint of minerality. Imported by W.J. Deutsch & Sons.

Though the finish falls off a bit, notes of juicy honeydew, pear and petrol open up for a sublime mouthful of pineapple and lime pulp. Medium-full-bodied, this is a well-balanced and structured offering promising pleasure and satisfaction.

Starts off with aromas of petrol, paraffin and melon. On the palate, pineapple, under-ripe stone fruit and lemon pith complement the full body. The medium length of the citrusy finish brings it all together nicely.

Crisp, off-dry and straightforward, this is an unexceptional Alsace white. There are some nice tones of petroleum, but they are undercut by a distracting scent of cooking grease. Unlikely to improve with age.

Dark pink with a slight coppery tinge to its hue, Sparr's Brut Rosé is a bit of disappointment. It boasts plum- and berry-scented aromas, but it comes across as heavy on the palate and a bit sweet, lacking freshness and verve.

Fading and a bit oxidized, this is past its prime.

A full-bodied wine, with some sweetness but also good structure holding it together. Flavors of quince, honey and mineral are complemented by spice and smokiness. Imported by W. J. Deutsch & Sons.

Peaches and honey dominate the flavors of this full wine. It has some sweetness, with acidity and a touch of smokiness. Likely to age for five years. Imported by W. J. Deutsch & Sons.
