2022 Riesling, Trocken, Eva Fricke, Rheingau, Germany

Eva Fricke has once again made an absolutely stunning wine. The relative heat of the vintage has given the wine a ripe, complex flavour profile, yet under Eva’s watchful eye the wine retains its balance and freshness thanks to the naturally vibrant acidity. Aromas immediately burst out of the glass with impressive definition. Peach, nectarine, pear, lime and floral aromatics can all be perceived with delightful clarity.

There is a slight spritz on the palate, however the wine has a weight to it that comes from the concentration of fruit. The wine has no residual sugar, but the ripeness of the fruit continues to linger tantalisingly on the palate before the mouthwatering acidity washes through. I am a big fan of this wine, utterly magnificent.

What an exquisite wine, and representing exceptional value, too. Such a pronounced and wonderful bouquet on the nose with robust, ripe stone fruits and lychee vibrantly displayed. A fantastic oily, juicily textured palate (breathtaking acidity!) with a hint of salinity on the finish. I certainly will be adding a case to the cellar if we have enough left, which sadly may not be the case.
