Daniel Fries Terrassen Riesling 2024 Mosel (75cl, 12.5%)

Terrassen Riesling is a dry white Qualitätswein from Weingut Daniel Fries in Winningen, in Germany's Mosel. The grapes come from the steeper sections of old slate terraces and are picked by hand. Parcels are vinified separately and blended afterwards. Fermentation is natural, in large old wooden foudres, followed by ageing on the lees, which gives the wine a creamy texture alongside its freshness. The nose shows ripe lime, citrus and wet slate. On the palate it is juicy and energetic, with lime and citrus fruit and crushed-rock minerality. The finish is long and dry, with a bite of citrus pith.
