Daniel Fries 'Vom Schiefer' Pinot Noir 2022 Mosel, Germany

Style 😋: Light bodied with fine, silky tannins and bright acidity. Pure and precise with flavors of wild raspberry, red cherry, blood orange, crushed stone, and a subtle herbal edge.

Story 📖: Daniel Fries is part of a new generation of winemakers in the Mosel, one of Germany’s most storied regions. He took over his family’s estate in Winningen and has gradually shifted to more thoughtful, hands-off farming and winemaking. Organically farmed vineyards on steep, slate-covered slopes form the backbone of his work, producing wines that combine old-world precision with a modern, transparent touch.

'Vom Schiefer' means from slate, and that's exactly what you taste here. This Pinot Noir is grown on steep, slate-covered slopes that channel both sun and cool air. It’s fermented spontaneously and raised in large old oak, giving it texture without masking its terroir.

Pairing 🍽: Mushroom and caramelized onion tart.
