Pierre Sparr - Alsace One 2020 (750ml) Gros Manseng pencil lead and cloves plusWinemaker Notes Soft, light yellow hue in the glass. On the nose, Alsace One is engaging with citrus and lilac notes. The palate follows with fresh fruit flavors; fullbodied and well structured, a dynamic acidity plays around the tongue. This lively, compelling wine blends Rieslings freshness, Muscats fruitiness and Pinot Gris length.
