2024 Eva Fricke Rheingau Riesling Trocken

95 POINTS

Stuart Pigott - JamesSuckling.com

A very compact wine for 2024, with a lot of delicate herbal notes under the wealth of pear and yuzu flavors, plus fine tannins that deftly anchor the medium-bodied palate. Wonderfully elegant texture and density in the long, complete finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan.

This very youthful, racy dry riesling is still quite tightly wound, but don’t let that put you off. The fresh garden herb, yuzu and Amalfi lemon aromas are really expressive, and the wet-stone minerality creates terrific tension on the medium-bodied palate. Vegan. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

The 2024 Rheingau Riesling Trocken Mélange includes 25% of the massal selection plantations from the Eltville Mönchhanach, the once prestigious grand cru of Schloss Eltz that is still based on the original soils. The other plantations are also from original plots, so the 2024 Mélange can be seen as the second selection of the Eltville Collection. The nose is deep, elegant and citric, representing the weathered limestone of the terroir and giving a vibrantly fresh expression. Elegant and refined on the palate, this is a lush, round, fresh and savory, very elegant and refined Riesling with a pretty specific character. It is quite accessible already yet worth cellaring. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in August 2025.

Typical Riesling aroma with peach, lime, grapefruit, the whole embedded in a slightly sweet fruit flavour. Exceptionally mineral on the palate, fine grip, plenty of drinkability with very delicate phenolics that provide mouthfeel. Behind this, a fine spiciness provides a framework.
