Eva Fricke Lorch Krone Riesling Trocken 2024
Unlike so many other German winemakers, Eva Fricke didn't come from a long line of vintners. Her parents were doctors from the industrial town of Bremen. Everything she's built, she's built herself. Her interest in wine began when she worked at a vineyard in South Africa at 17. In 2006, after training at wineries around the world, she finally started making her own wine. That first bottling came from the Krone vineyard, a small, Grand Cru site of grey slate and chalk planted with older vines (some from 1955). She now has 11 ha, all farmed organically, but the Krone remains her top wine. It's fermented in-tank to retain its fresh fruit, but 7 months on lees gives it an extra richness. The aromas of apple and petrol are exquisite. It's full bodied and plush but dry. It’s a pleasure to drink now, but will age beautifully.
