Fritz's Riesling grows in a very small and special part of Rheinhessen called the Roter Hang, a name meaning “red hill“ due to its red-slate soils. The combination of the red slate soil, its proximity to the Rhine river, exposure to the sun and the steepness of the vineyards are perfect for producing wines with wonderful ripeness.

Brilliant very pale straw colour with a faint greenish tinge to the edges and a watery hue. Lifted lime and ripe red apple scents mix with orange blossom, a faint whiff of honeysuckle, citrus and light mineral. Showing good intensity, the palate has a generous mouthfeel with ripe lime and red apple flavours dominate over subtle mandarin, citrus and mineral characters. Finishes dry with fresh snappy acidity and a long aftertaste.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
Alc. 12%
