Regarded as one Eva Fricke's Grand Cru vineyards, this has a lot of quartz from this parcel that was planted in the 30s and 50s.Very finely tuned, with an intense raciness and focus with some pear, white pepper and jasmine aromas. More generous than in 2024, there are hints of orange rind and ginger on the palate, with a pithy and saline finish. Volumes are extremely limited. Drink from 2028 to 2050. 12% [4- Medium dry]

From a top site and the star of Lorch, this vineyard is planted to very old vines from the 1930s. This is very concentrated and fruit forward with clementine, fleshy peach and orange blossom notes with ginger and a hint of honey. The palate is silky in texture, yet supported with a racy, vibrant acidity that balances the sweetness perfectly. Drink from 2028 to 2050. 8.5% [6-Sweet]

Seligmacher has the highest quartzite content and is always concentrated and approachable a lot earlier than her Grand Cru sites. A riesling that overdelivers in all aspects; fruity, spicy, mineral. Quite showy with mandarin, clementine and orange peel combined with the signature racy acidity that we come to expect from this estate. There is a glycerol feel on the palate with some residual sugar. Drink from 2027 to 2035. 12.5% [4- Medium dry]

This is Eva's village wine from the Upper Rheingau village of Kiedrich. The fruit used to go into Rheingau, but having taken over the vineyards in 2009 and adopting better viticultural practices, the quality has improved dramatically, and it warranted a separate wine. The soils are varied and have sandy loess, loam and clay, producing a fruit-forward style of riesling. Lime cordial, bergamot, apple and tangy acidity with a hint a saltiness on the finish. Drink from 2027 to 2031. 12% [2 - Dry]

Now exclusively Eltville fruit that has benefitted from ecological farming for a number of years and is a selection of Eva's oldest and best vineyard sites in this upper Rheingau village. This white has razor-sharp focus and tension combined with a white peach, mandarin and dried lemon peel fruitiness. Wonderfully expressive and mineral at the same time. Drink from 2027 to 2042. 13.5% [4-Medium dry]

A blend from around Eltville and Lorch, this is Eva's entry into her range, although the same care and attention to detail goes into this riesling, with younger vine fruit from some of her best plots sometimes making its way into this wine. Wonderfully expressive and offering generosity in a restrained way and that's in keeping to the precise style of Eva's wines. Drink from 2027 to 2030. 13% [1 -- bone dry]

Krone is one of Eva Fricke's Grand Cru sites in the Rheingau with complex grey slate soils with a layer of chalk in the subsoil and 70-year-old vines. Eva perfects the art of bringing finesse along with weight and concentration to the glass. Krone has always been one of my favourite wines from the range as the saltiness and the concentration from the old vines and the terroir always make themselves present. In 2025 there is more generosity of fruit, which makes it more beguiling. A wine that will age perfectly and bring plenty of satisfaction for many years to come. Volumes are extremely limited. Drink from 2028 to 2050. 13.5% [2-Dry]
