Riesling Schlossböckelheim Kupfergrube GG dry

The Kupfergrube in Schlossböckelheim is one of the great sites of the Nahe — and Schäfer-Fröhlich consistently extracts from this porphyry soil what made it famous: Riesling with drive, depth, and a long curve.

Tim Fröhlich manages the winery in Bockenau according to biodynamic principles. The Kupfergrube, named after the former copper mining, provides wines of unusual tension due to its volcanic weathering soil — taut, mineral, with the potential for many years in the cellar.

In the glass, there is initially some reduction — a typical sign of a young, tightly knit GG shortly after bottling. Behind it, bright yellow fruit, herbs, and delicate floral aromas open up. On the palate, juicy and precise at the same time: lively acidity, a hint of sweet fruit depth, yeasty and floral nuances, plenty of bright minerality. The finish has bite and length.

Recommendation: Decant now or wait 2–4 years — then it will open up completely. Pairs with zander on beurre blanc, white asparagus with hollandaise sauce, or aged mountain cheese. Serving temperature: 10–12 °C.

VDP Member Estate

The Schäfer-Fröhlich winery originates in the picturesque Nahe Valley in Germany and boasts a long family tradition of winemaking. Since 1800, the Schäfer family has dedicated itself to cultivating grapevines and producing high-quality wines. Today, the winery is managed by Tim Fröhlich, who combines his ancestors' traditions with modern winemaking techniques. The estate stretches across the hills of the Nahe Valley and benefits from the region's unique climatic and geological conditions. The vineyards are primarily planted with Riesling and Pinot Noir grapes, which find ideal conditions here to produce wines of exceptional quality. 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. Winemaking is carried out using traditional methods and state-of-the-art viticultural techniques to produce wines of the highest quality and authenticity.
