Weingut Eva Fricke, 2023
Riesling Rheingau 2023
Riesling Rheingau 2023
Eva's basic wine, and the domain's calling card. A so-called 'Gutswein', thus with the regional appellation 'Rheingau'. Beautiful, direct Riesling full of peach and apple. The wine is juicy, smooth and fresh, with a nicely dry finish. Already very recognizable as a true Fricke.

Although Eva originally comes from Bremen and has no family background in wine, she has successfully established herself in the traditional Rheingau wine region. Her passion for wine led her to South Africa, Bordeaux, and Schloss Johannisberg in the Rheingau, after which she was admitted to the prestigious Geisenheim Wine University. She then gained experience at renowned wineries such as Castello di Verduno (Barolo), Dominio Pingus (Ribera del Duero), and Leitz (Rheingau). With this extensive knowledge and experience, she founded her own winery in the Rheingau in 2006.
Her winery now covers 10 hectares, and she has been working entirely organically since 2016. Everything is done by hand in the cellar, resulting in wines of exceptional precision and character. Every detail receives full attention.
The fact that Eva, as an outsider, managed to establish herself in the ultra-conservative wine world of the Rheingau is already remarkable. But the fact that she grew to become one of the absolute top winemakers in the region within ten years – recognized by Jancis Robinson, The Wine Advocate, and Feinschmecker, among others – is a world-class achievement.
