A selection of Germany’s energising 2020s

Blood orange, lemon peel and steely aromas express themselves on the nose. The palate is as juicy as always thanks to the vineyard's loess and loam soils bringing vibrancy, even more so thanks to the vintage.

Sourced from very old vines on slate soils that take on an additional layer of salty minerality in vintages like 2020. Expect the jasmine, lemon citrus and fleshy peach notes to be underpinned with steely and stone notes as well as a saline core. Restrained concentration defines this wine.

One of Eva's Grand cru sites, this site is always more floral and instantly inviting on the nose. Expect white blossom, grapefruit and white peach supported by hints of honey and ginger. The acidity is nervy and the saltiness continues on the finish, proving to be a rather delicious wine.

The Seligmacher is a wine that has been showing increasing precision year on year. It has notes of the exotic, especially in a year like 2020 that had one of the warmest summers on record, yet the salty, stony and more savoury characters that are tasted in Fricke's Grand cru sites of Krone and Schlossberg are vidible here also.

This wine exceeds all expectations and offers incredible value for money as well as providing a wine with tension. The steeliness and saltiness on the palate is balanced with citrus and floral notes. The core has a glycerol quality that gives texture and breadth, yet the wine finishes on a saline note.
