Wow, this is an absolute bombshell of a wine, the Lorcher Riesling from Rheingau superstar Eva Fricke in the 2019 vintage. Right from the get-go, this supercharged wine blows you off your feet with its cacophony of petrol, salt, lime and garden herbs on the nose – almost like shoving your proboscis into a packet of salt and vinegar crisps. In a good way!

The palate is actually quite a contrast, with a supple, generous mouthfeel with none of the hard edges this grape can bring. Perhaps attributable to the warm, ripe vintage that 2019 was. But it offers a complex array of bitter fruits, some sweet lime, nectarine, and a long finish. It is perhaps slightly underwhelming given the supercharged aromas this wine possesses, but it’s very good stuff nevertheless!
