Domaine Amélie & Charles Sparr Brand 'Legende' Alsace Grand Cru Riesling 2020

Young talents like Charles and Amelie are shaking things up in Alsace, with a more disciplined look at the region's rich terroir to match grape varietals with the soils that express them best. Their clean and expressive — yet natural, biodynamically grown — single-varietal wines are a flavorful revelation, and show the limitless potential of this historic region. The Sparr family purchased their six acres in grand cru ‘Brand’ in the 1960s; their parcel sits directly next to Zind-Humbrecht’s vines. ‘Brand’ is the boldest of Riesling wines, with vines that face full south at altitude.
