Monzingen HALENBERG Riesling dry GG 1.5L

The Halenberg in Monzingen is considered one of the great Riesling sites of the Nahe valley – and Schäfer-Fröhlich shows why in this magnum bottling. A wine that needs time and gives time.

Tim Fröhlich has been managing the winery in Bockenau for over two decades with a consistent focus on steep-slope Rieslings from slate and volcanic rock. The Halenberg – deep grey slate, partly over 200 million years old – provides grapes with extraordinary mineral tension. Spontaneous fermentation, aging in wooden barrels, long lees aging. The 1.5-liter bottle further slows down the maturation: those who open it now will encounter the wine in an early phase.

On the nose, light quince, citrus zest, and a distinctly stony, almost chalky mineral tone. On the palate, taut, lively acidity that carries the body without cutting. Added to this are salty, herbal nuances, a hint of aloe, and a long, firm finish with real grip. Not a crowd-pleasing wine – one with backbone.

Serving recommendation: Serving temperature 11–13 °C. Pairs well with cod on lentils, goat cheese with herbs, or fried monkfish with caper butter. Those who wait will be rewarded with increasing complexity.

The Winery

Schäfer-Fröhlich

VDP Member Estate

The Schäfer-Fröhlich winery has its origins in the picturesque Nahe valley in Germany and can look back on a long family tradition in viticulture. Since 1800, the Schäfer family has dedicated itself to the cultivation of grapevines and the production of high-quality wines.

Today, the winery is managed by Tim Fröhlich, who combines the tradition of his ancestors with modern viticulture techniques. The winery extends over the hills of the Nahe valley and benefits from the unique climatic and geological conditions of the region.

The vineyards are mainly planted with Riesling and Burgundy grape varieties, which find ideal conditions here to produce wines of exceptional quality. The range of the Schäfer-Fröhlich winery includes an impressive selection of wines that reflect the diversity and quality of the Nahe region.

Particularly noteworthy are the Rieslings, which are the trademark of the winery and are known for their elegance, freshness, and longevity. In addition, the winery also produces excellent Burgundy wines as well as other varieties that perfectly express the terroir and the skill of the winemaker. At Schäfer-Fröhlich, quality is the top priority. The winery relies on careful manual labor in the vineyard and gentle processing of the grapes in the cellar to unfold the full potential of the wines. Winemaking is carried out taking into account traditional methods and state-of-the-art viticulture techniques to create wines of the highest quality and authenticity.
