Eva Fricke Lorch Krone Riesling Trocken 2022

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.
