{"product_id":"eva-fricke-riesling-verde-2025","title":"Eva Fricke, Riesling Verde, 2025","description":"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.","brand":"Grand Cru Selections [GCR]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50954862723129,"sku":"NYC-W-GCR-`GCRU800812-25`-102626-36","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Eva-Fricke-Riesling-Verde-2025-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1793178035","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/eva-fricke-riesling-verde-2025","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
