Fio represents a bold partnership between the Kettern family (making wine in the Mosel for several hundred years) and Dirk Niepoort (famed Portuguese winemaker), founded to reinterpret classic Mosel wine production. Based in Piesport (Middle Mosel), Fio pursues 'old school' wines made in classic, slower style—organic viticulture with no SO2 during winemaking, minimal SO2 at bottling. The Goldtröpfchen vineyard sits among Piesport's top sites (alongside Josephsberg and Falkenberg). This 2017 dry Riesling with 'extended elevage' (nine-year aging) is fully mature: honeyed stone fruit, subtle spice, and the complexity that time in bottle delivers. At nearly a decade old, it shows beautiful development with mineral definition. Ready to drink now or cellar another 5+ years.

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!
