Fio Fabelhaft Riesling

Bright yellow in colour with greenish reflections. The aromatic bouquet reveals fresh aromas of ripe apples and juicy peaches. The typical Riesling aroma continues harmoniously on the palate. This German white wine convinces with its wonderful balance between the well-integrated acidity and the fine sweetness. The finale once again offers fruity notes.

Famed Douro producer Dirk Neepoort, whose son Daniel lived with the Kettern family in Piesport for four vintages, followed now by his brother Marco. Together they have a project called Fio, making “Natural Wines” that challenge the old order and which we are now bringing in for the first time. The estate was founded in the 1950’s by Lothar, but son Philipp has been in charge since 2009. To describe him as iconoclastic is an understatement. He has converted the estate to something approaching organic viticulture, while pushing the envelope with Fio and its low-sulphur wines. He has also converted most of his production to dry and off-dry wines, while maintaining the noble tradition of classically sweet Mosels to the manner born. In short, he offers us something of everything – bone-tingling, electric Mosel classics, modern dry wines and cutting-edge natural wines.
