Eva Fricke has achieved what no one has done before: the winemaker brought international glamor and top marks to the tranquil Rheingau. Three of their wines were awarded 100 points by two of the world’s most important wine critics in 2020. in the starpodcast “Die Boss” she talks to hostess Simone Menne about this success and reveals how her wines made it to auction at Sotheby’s afterwards.
A bottle of their dessert wine “Lorcher Krone Trockenbeerenauslese 2019” fetched more than 4000 euros. “This is of course something for wine lovers who are building up a collection,” explains Fricke. She herself would also buy wine in the supermarket. “All supermarkets in Germany have very strict incoming goods controls in terms of quality and have excellent products in their price category. (…) Personally, the first thing I would look at is: Which are the organic products? You can really say: Even if this producer If he were to cheat, he’s subject to stricter controls than the other guy. That’s an easy narrowing down. But there are also fantastic wine apps with label finders that you can use if you’re not sure.”

The winemaker also reports on the hard sides of her job, because shortly before her great success, the Corona crisis almost brought her into bankruptcy. “I would always advise everyone to start a business and be self-employed. But the way I write my business plan, I should also have a very clearly defined exit plan at this moment,” said the entrepreneur at “Die Boss”. Fricke also tells in the podcast how she came to grow wine in the Rheingau as a Bremen native and how much she thinks a good wine can – and must – cost.
