Description
Daniel Fries is part of a new wave of Mosel winemakers proving that the region’s steep, slate-rich vineyards can produce exceptional Pinot Noir alongside its world-class Riesling. His family was one of the first in the Mosel to plant Pinot back in 1986, and Daniel is now refining that legacy with a hands-on, thoughtful approach to winemaking.
The 2022 Estate Pinot Noir is a vibrant, beautifully balanced expression of the variety. Sourced from younger vines in the lower terraces of Winningen, it was hand-harvested, fermented with 20% whole bunch, and aged in French oak (20% new) for 16 months. The result is a Pinot that’s fresh yet structured, with bright fruit, fine tannins, and just enough spice from the oak to add complexity.
This is a serious Mosel Pinot at a seriously good price—light on its feet but packed with personality. Whether you're new to the region’s reds or already a fan, this one is well worth a try.
