This is Riesling with some serious character.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDaniel Fries is making some seriously exciting wines in \u003cstrong\u003eWinningen in Germany's Mosel Valley\u003c\/strong\u003e. Forget any preconceptions about Riesling being sweet – this is a beautifully dry, concentrated and energetic white from some incredibly steep, old slate terraces overlooking the Mosel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for the \u003cstrong\u003eTerrassen Riesling\u003c\/strong\u003e come from the steeper sections of Winningen's centuries-old vineyard terraces. Everything is \u003cstrong\u003epicked by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e – partly because on slopes like these, there really isn't much of an alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe individual parcels are vinified separately before being blended together. Fermentation happens naturally in large, old wooden foudres, followed by ageing on the lees to add texture and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a Riesling that manages to be both incredibly fresh and surprisingly textured. There's loads of \u003cstrong\u003eripe lime and citrus\u003c\/strong\u003e, backed up by a lovely creamy texture and an unmistakable wet-slate minerality. The finish is long, dry and seriously refreshing with a mouthwatering citrus-pith bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you think Riesling means light and sweet, \u003cstrong\u003ethis is the bottle we'd give you to change your mind.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDaniel Fries makes a much broader and more textural style of Mosel Riesling. You still get all that brilliant acidity and slatey minerality, but there's considerably more weight and texture through the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's one of those wines that gets more interesting as it warms slightly in the glass. Don't serve it absolutely freezing – give it a decent wine glass and let it show you what it's got.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe lime, fresh citrus and an almost immediately recognisable wet-slate minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Juicy and energetic with ripe lime and citrus fruit, creamy lees-derived texture and masses of crushed-rock minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, dry and bracing with citrus pith, fresh acidity and lingering slatey minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBrilliant with \u003cstrong\u003eoysters, shellfish, sushi, tuna and simply cooked white fish\u003c\/strong\u003e.
