"The first vintage of this cuvée, Riesling Paradies is made from 60 year old vines from the Grand Cru Pfingstberg in the village of Orschwihr. These vines have been retrieved over the past year by Jean’s son, who has now started working with the family. The soil is Grèseux, which is one of the translations for the word sandstone. The wine was aged in foudre on fine lees." - Living Wines

SPÖN - a discovery-led hybrid bottle-shop/Wine bar experience. Browse the shelves, grab a bottle and drink it at the bar — or pull up a stool and explore a daily rotating board of over 15+ distinct wines being poured by the glass. SPÖN is built around drinking what interests you.
Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
