Based in the Rheingau, Weingut Eva Fricke cultivates steep slate vineyards overlooking the Rhine Gorge. Lorcher Schlossberg is one of the region’s most dramatic sites producing structured Riesling. This Spätlese is harvested later to achieve greater ripeness while preserving acidity. Fermentation takes place slowly with indigenous yeasts followed by ageing on fine lees. The 2023 vintage delivered vibrant fruit and freshness. Compared with the dry Schlossberg bottling, the Spätlese shows greater richness, combining ripe citrus, peach and honeyed notes with balanced acidity and mineral tension https://www.evafricke.com
