This is Riesling made for the terrace. Eva Fricke's Verde is her homage to Portugal's Vinho Verde: a light, off-dry summer wine with lower alcohol and refreshing acidity, made by one of the Rheingau's most serious growers. The idea came out of a disaster. After a terrible hailstorm hit the Rheingau in 2017, Fricke picked early and made a wine with less alcohol, a touch of sugar and a slight prickle, and the cuvée was born. Verde blends several Rheingau sites, where the soils run from sandy loess and loam to clay, quartzite and slate. She ferments it spontaneously with native yeasts. Fricke built all of this herself. She is a doctors' daughter from Bremen who studied at Geisenheim and worked harvests from Australia to Pingus in Ribera del Duero. She was winemaker at Leitz when she started making wine on the side from a rented parcel in 2006, and she founded her own estate in 2011. Today she farms 17 hectares organically, working the vines by hand, and the 2025 is certified organic. It belongs to her estate-wine tier, so it's an easy way into her wines and a bottle worth keeping cold all summer.

More about Eva Fricke

Eva Fricke's vines are all about 40 years old and yields are naturally reduced by the barren soil and rather harsh climate. There are no herbicides or pesticides used and minimal cellar work is done. She is certified organic and converting to biodynamic. The vineyards in Kiedrich and Eltville grow juicy, fruity Rieslings, the soils have loess and clay. The wines are full, rich, floral with great fruit. Further north around Lorch and Lorchhausen the slate and quartzite soils produce wines that have great mineral and saline qualities. These are all estate grown wines of great distinction, purity and grace.

Like many modern producers she has travelled extensively and worked at very different places. During her studies, she worked at Schloss Johannisberg in the Rheingau and in Bordeaux, Piedmont, Ribera del Duero, Australia -- all over the place. After graduation, Eva worked for JB Becker, the for Leitz. She struck out on her own in 2013 and now has her own 11 hectare vineyard in Eltville.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pour it on its own as an aperitif. With food, try steamed sea bass with ginger and scallion, a mild coconut fish curry or vegetable korma, spring vegetable risotto, or a grilled halloumi and herb salad.

Tasting Profile

Citrus aromas lead the way. It's light-bodied and lower in alcohol, with a creamy lime-and-lemon texture. The acidity is delicate but refreshing, and it balances the slight off-dry sweetness, so the finish comes across clean and lively.

WINE GUIDES

German Wines

Is there a better grape than Riesling? Is there a better value? Its fruit purity, its perfume, and its mineral nuance are all unparalleled. And for centuries, the top German Rieslings were priced accordingly: at least as expensive as the top red wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy. But nowadays you could spend a lifetime exploring Germany’s great Riesling-producing regions while staying well within your budget. You might take an occasional break to try Germany’s other white grapes or perhaps a glass of Spätburgunder (the local name for Pinot Noir). It’s time to get started!
