2023 Riesling, Trocken, Eva Fricke, Rheingau, Germany

Description

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.

Riesling
