2022 Eva Fricke 'Kiedrich' Riesling Trocken

Aromas of orange blossom, kumquat, nectarine, and wild herbs lead into a refined, medium-bodied palate. Flavors of candied lemon, white peach, and wet stone mesh with a subtle creamy core. The texture is silky yet focused, driven by ripe natural acidity and a long, salty mineral finish.

Farmed using strict organic practices without synthetic inputs, relying on hand harvesting across all parcels. Whole-cluster fruit undergoes spontaneous native yeast fermentation in stainless steel tanks, aging on the fine lees for several months to build textural depth while maintaining pure varietal tension.

Grapes are sourced from village-level plots around Kiedrich in Germany’s upper Rheingau region. Vines grow on south-facing slopes composed of loess, loam, and clay mixed with quartzite. Cool air descending from the nearby Taunus mountains slows ripening, preserving vibrant natural acidity and firm structural drive.
