Amelie et Charles Sparr Riesling Grand Cru Schoenberg Revelation 2020

Accolades:
95/100 – James Suckling
92/100 – Wine Enthusiast

“So much candied citrus, angelica, dried sage and thyme in the nose! However, this compact and highly structured Alsace Grand Cru dry riesling is still very youthful and really needs a lot of aeration (decanting and big glasses!) to open it up. Stunning complexity of fruit, herbal and mineral character at the imposing yet very cool finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.” – James Suckling

“A polished and expressive Riesling, this wine strikes a beautiful balance between ripe fruit and subtle bitterness. Flavors of ripe peach, citrus zest, and a hint of honey are framed by a lively acidity, while a slight bitter edge adds complexity and depth. Well-made with a long, satisfying finish, it combines richness with freshness, making it both approachable and intriguing.” – Wine Enthusiast
