Fritz Walter Riesling is a quintessential expression of Pfalz Riesling, combining purity of fruit with elegant minerality. Grown on gently sloping vineyards with loess, sandstone, and limestone soils, the wine reflects the warm days and cool nights that define the region’s microclimate — conditions that preserve natural acidity while developing generous fruit flavours. Hand-harvested grapes are carefully pressed and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to maintain aromatic precision and freshness. The wine then rests on fine lees for added texture and complexity before bottling. The result is a finely balanced Riesling that captures both vibrancy and depth in equal measure.

Meet the producer

Fritz Walter is a family-run estate located in Niederhorbach, at the heart of Germany’s Pfalz region. Established in 1832, the winery has become known for producing expressive, terroir-driven wines that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern precision. Today, the estate continues to honour its heritage through sustainable viticulture and a focus on purity, freshness, and regional authenticity.

Production

The Riesling grapes are hand-selected at optimal ripeness to preserve the variety’s hallmark acidity and aromatic clarity. Fermentation occurs slowly at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks, ensuring a crisp, fruit-forward profile. The wine is then matured briefly on fine lees to enhance mouthfeel and lend subtle complexity without diminishing its freshness.

Tasting notes

Pale lemon in colour, Fritz Walter Riesling opens with bright aromas of green apple, citrus blossom, and pear, with hints of flint and wet stone. On the palate, the wine is off-dry yet perfectly balanced, showing juicy orchard fruit, lime zest, and a mineral edge. A refreshing acidity leads to a clean, lingering finish.

Food match

A versatile partner for many cuisines, this Riesling pairs beautifully with seafood, Asian-inspired dishes, or mildly spiced curries. It also complements soft cheeses and light poultry dishes, or can be enjoyed simply on its own as a refreshing aperitif.
