Monzingen HALENBERG Riesling dry GG 1.5L

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

Tim Fröhlich has been managing the vineyard in Bockenau for over two decades, consistently focusing on Rieslings from steep slopes of slate and volcanic rock. The Halenberg vineyard – with its deep grey slate, some parts over 200 million years old – yields grapes with exceptional minerality. Fermentation is spontaneous, followed by aging in oak barrels and extended lees contact. The 1.5-liter bottle further slows down the maturation process: those who open it now will experience the wine at an early stage.

On the nose, bright quince, citrus peel, and a distinctly stony, almost chalky minerality. On the palate, firm, vibrant acidity supports the body without being harsh. Add to that salty, herbal nuances, a hint of aloe, and a long, firm finish with real grip. Not a crowd-pleasing wine – one with backbone.

Drinking recommendation: Best enjoyed between 2026 and 2038. Serving temperature 11–13 °C. Pairs well with cod on lentils, goat cheese with herbs, or pan-fried monkfish with caper butter. Those who wait will be rewarded with increasing complexity.

The Schäfer-Fröhlich winery's portfolio comprises an impressive selection of wines that reflect the diversity and quality of the Nahe region. The Rieslings, in particular, are the winery's hallmark 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 winemaker's skill. At Schäfer-Fröhlich, quality is paramount. The winery relies on meticulous handwork in the vineyard and gentle processing of the grapes in the cellar to unlock the full potential of the wines.
