The Sparr blend is clean and food-friendly without losing the character that comes from Alsatian fruit and terroir. It drinks beautifully now but will hold through 2027 if you want to cellar it.

Elegant and refreshing with good complexity for a wine at this price.

• Palate: Crisp, lemon zest, white peach, mineral undertones
• Structure & Finish: Fine persistent bubbles, clean dry finish with toasty complexity

Winemaking

Made using traditional méthode champenoise, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle and spends time on the lees, building the toast and complexity you find in the finish.

Serving & Pairing

Serve chilled between 45 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit; no decanting needed. It is at home as an aperitif on its own, with oysters and raw shellfish, or alongside a simple butter-poached fish. The acidity and mineral thread cut through richness without demanding food, so it works equally well with smoked salmon or soft cheese.

The Estate

Amelie and Charles Sparr are growers in Alsace who produce their own wines, working with fruit from their vineyards in the region.

Terroir

Alsace's cool continental climate and mineral-rich soils give the wine its crispness and the subtle stony undertones that balance the fruit. The blend of three white varieties is classic for Crémant d'Alsace, each grape contributing acidity and character to the final sparkling wine.
