2024 Eva Fricke, Rheingau, Riesling

Since establishing her renowned estate in 2006, Eva Fricke has set the benchmark for precise, terroir-driven winemaking in the Rheingau. Farmed with strict organic and biodynamic practices, this wine is sourced from 40- to 70-year-old vines spread across the diverse soils of Lorch, Eltville, Hattenheim, and Kiedrich. Pour a glass to reveal vibrant, lively aromas of yuzu, crisp apple, and savory garden herbs. The complex 2024 vintage—marked by a low-yield harvest—produced wonderfully concentrated fruit balanced by a racy, high acidity. The result is a wine with a firm, saline texture and a persistent, steely wet-stone minerality.
