Description
Lieu Dit is a term used to describe a small vineyard site within a larger appellation. These sites are subject to even more strict regulations around vine density, pruning, trellising, grape maturity and yields and represent even more precise expressions of a particular terroir, which is especially exciting in the case of a vineyard with the pedigree of Altenbourg.

Tasting Notes
The Sparr family has been making wine since 1680. This Riesling was grown in Altenbourg in the Haut-Rhin (Upper Rhine) region and offers lovely suggestions of fresh flowers, apricot, grapefruit and lime. Sip with spiced pork sausages heaped high with caramelized onions, apple slaw and honey mustard vinaigrette. (Vintages panel, May 2017)
