Fio Wines JoJo Orange Riesling and the Visionary Winemaker
A Symphony of Tradition and Innovation
Nestled in the heart of the Mosel Valley, Fio Wines represents a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, and their JoJo Orange Riesling is a testament to this philosophy. This unique and vibrant wine is an extraordinary expression of Riesling, a grape typically celebrated for its elegance and versatility. However, JoJo Orange Riesling steps beyond the conventional, embracing the ancient practice of extended skin contact to develop a distinctive orange hue and a complex, multilayered flavor profile. The result is a wine that captivates the senses with its intriguing blend of citrus, stone fruit, and a subtle tannic framework, offering a fresh and dynamic experience with every sip.
The mastermind behind Fio Wines and its remarkable creations is none other than Philipp Kettern, a winemaker whose lineage is steeped in viticultural tradition. Kettern, together with his collaborators, acclaimed wine journalists Dirk and Daniel Niepoort, has embarked on a journey to redefine Mosel Riesling. Their collective expertise and passion for pushing boundaries have led to the crafting of wines that not only honor the heritage of the region but also introduce novel techniques and perspectives. Philipp Kettern's meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to natural winemaking processes ensure that each bottle of JoJo Orange Riesling is a reflection of the terroir and the season in which it was crafted.
Fio Wines' dedication to sustainability and minimal intervention winemaking is evident in every aspect of their production. The grapes used for JoJo Orange Riesling are hand-picked from old vines, ensuring the highest quality and expression of the vineyard's character. The winemaking process itself is carried out with minimal intervention, allowing the natural beauty of the grapes to shine through. This philosophy not only preserves the authenticity and integrity of the wine but also contributes to the environmental stewardship of the Mosel Valley. In JoJo Orange Riesling, Fio Wines offers a wine that is as much an exploration of tradition as it is a bold step into the future of winemaking.
