This is the easiest way into the wines of Eva Fricke, the Rheingau's great self-made success story. Her estate-level dry Riesling comes across juicy and fruity in 2024, with a dry finish and a modest 12% alcohol. Fricke inherited nothing. She was born in Bremen to two doctors, worked teenage summers at wineries in South Africa and Australia, then learned her trade at J.B. Becker and with Johannes Leitz, buying her first vines in 2006 while still working for Leitz. Today her estate is a patchwork of sites across the Rheingau, farmed organically and worked by hand, and her estate Riesling draws on several of them, with soils running from sandy loess and loam to clay, quartzite and slate. Her cellar rules are simple: native-yeast fermentations in stainless steel, alcohol kept in check, and keeping the acidity above everything else. She isn't chasing a "natural wine" label (the point is the purity of the vineyards). Think of it as her introduction to her own style, and a seriously good bottle to open on a weeknight.

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.

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!
