2023 Riesling, Trocken, Eva Fricke, Rheingau, Germany

Description

Eva Fricke may not have a long history but to judge from the precision and consistency of her dry German Rieslings, that is no bad thing

Jancis Robinson MW, Financial Times (December 2024)

The majority (80%) of the grapes in this gorgeous Riesling are sourced from Eva’s well-tended vineyards in Eltville, Lorch and Hattenheim. The balance comes from the younger vines in Lorch. This has a lovely nose of fresh, green apples, white peach and white flowers. It is beautifully pure with a pebble stone lift.

The palate is mouth-wateringly crisp and fresh, full of green apple skin with a hint of green melon lingering behind. All is drawn in seamlessly by that stoney purity. This wine is refreshing and vibrant with a lovely, supple texture in this vintage. It is rounded and delicious, not angular at all. A pure mineral note of riverbed stones lingers on the long, thirst-quenching finish.

Critics reviews

Stephan Reinhardt 92/100

12% stated alcohol. Screw-cap closure. Tasted at the domaine.

The 2023 Rheingau is clear, pure, fresh and finely flinty on the nose, although only a small part of the assemblage is based on Lorch fruit, whereas the rest comes from the central Rheingau. Intense, dense and saline on the palate, this is a full-bodied, crystalline and persistently saline Riesling that is analytically dry but pretty rich and, luckily, also vital due to its complexity and drive on the long, mineral finish. This is a stunning Rheingau estate wine.

Screw cap

What a complex wine for an entry-level dry riesling. A wealth of fresh herbs, stone fruit and delicate citrus aromas. It has a striking stony minerality and a wonderful vibrancy from the spritz of natural carbon dioxide on the barely medium-bodied palate. For this category, there’s astonishing length and purity. From organically grown grapes. Vegan.
