Aroma & Flavor Profile:
This wine bursts with aromatic intensity, showcasing ripe citrus notes of lemon curd and orange zest alongside hints of kumquat and candied fruit from its time on lees. Herbal undertones of chamomile and fresh garden herbs add depth to its bright profile. On the palate, mineral-driven layers of crushed stone and wet slate create a saline finish that lingers elegantly. The acidity is crisp yet harmonious, making it ideal for pairing with seafood or spicy dishes while maintaining remarkable freshness at 12% alcohol.

Crafted for Timelessness:
Blending grapes from historic vineyards like Klosterberg and Sandgrub—where 40+ year-old Riesling vines grow across sandy loess, clay-rich soils, and stony slate—this wine reflects its terroir’s diversity. Fermented spontaneously in stainless steel tanks to preserve purity of fruit, it was aged for eight months on fine lees to enhance its mouth-filling texture and complexity. The screw-cap closure ensures freshness until you’re ready to uncork it.

Why Choose This Riesling?:
With vegan certification and decade-long aging potential, this Rheingau gem stands out among dry whites. Its refined elegance pairs seamlessly with gourmet meals or as a standalone sipper for those appreciating mineral-driven wines. Critics praise its “tense yet persistent” character and “beautifully balanced” structure—proof of Eva Fricke’s dedication to crafting wines that evolve gracefully over time.

Whether you’re celebrating now or laying it down until 2025+, this Eva Fricke Kiedrich Riesling offers unmatched value for its depth and precision—a must-try for lovers of premium German white wines.
