Winemaker's Tasting Notes
This is a Rheingau Riesling, which can be a bit more taut and statuesque than the Mosel or Saar, but which renders irrepressibly mineral wines. Taken from vineyard parcels in both Eltsville (80%) and Lorch (20%). It aims to be a representation of the Rheingau terroir, fermented in stainless steel, with a slight maceration on the skins followed by 4 to 9 months on fine lees. A dry Riesling that provides an excellent introduction to Fricke’s expressive yet precise style, with great salinity, and a pleasure to drink.
100 Points - James Suckling
The mind-bending depth and purity of the yellow peach and Amalfi lemon character in this dry riesling is like the beam of a lighthouse that shines through the darkness to the horizon. Lots of wild herb nuances, too. And this doesn’t begin to describe the fabulous succulence on the front palate and the radical salty minerality in the dazzling finish that pours over you in wave after wave. Whatever you do, put this in a large glass of the kind you’d use for a great pinot noir. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.
