About this wine
Wine Style:
What a Riesling! Minerals, spices and citrus. Endless finish.
Sommelier's advice:
Pork Shellfish Vegetarian Cured Meat
Vineyards:
young vineyards (approx. 35 years) of Felseneck rocky sparse slate soil
Winemaking process:
Schiefergestein ("slate rock") comes from slate vineyards around Bockenau, including younger vines in the Felseneck grand cru, on blue Devonian slate with basalt and quartz. It is fermented with wild yeasts and matured in stainless steel. Tim Fröhlich, in charge since 1995, made the estate one of Germany's leading dry Riesling producers.

Vinoteka's note
Schäfer-Fröhlich's village Riesling from the slate soils of Bockenau on the Nahe, the "stone" counterpart to the estate's volcanic-rock bottling. Dry and juicy, with fine apple, a touch of mustard seed and coriander on the nose, a lightly spritzy freshness and a little more grip than the volcanic wine. A serious introduction to one of the Nahe's star producers; serve at 10–11 °C with trout, asparagus or a spicy Vietnamese salad.
“Fine apple notes on the nose, still slightly closed, mustard powder, coriander seeds.”Falstaff · 92 / 100 · 2023
