Alsace Riesling "Révélation" 2022 - Domaine Amélie & Charles Sparr

A 2022 Alsace Riesling from Domaine Amélie & Charles Sparr, made from grapes grown in the Grand Cru Shoenenbourg vineyard at Riquewihr. The marl and gypsum soils give elegance, balance and harmony. The vines are about 35 years old. The grapes are pressed whole, fermented at controlled temperature and matured on fine lees for six months. The estate describes it as juicy and refined. It is straw-yellow and bright. The nose brings white flowers, passion fruit, pineapple and candied citrus over a mineral background; the palate is fresh, fruity, sapid, long and persistent.
