Winemaking process:
Schäfer-Fröhlich farms about 21 hectares around Bockenau in the upper Nahe, on blue slate and volcanic porphyry, mostly planted to Riesling. This estate dry Riesling is the entry to the range. Tim Fröhlich, in charge since 1995, is known as a master of spontaneous fermentation with the grapes' own wild yeasts.
Interesting notes:
"Tim Fröhlich can surely lay claim to the world’s most consistently overachieving generic Riesling bottlings of the past two decades. 90 Points" – David Schildknecht, Vinous, Jun 2020
