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.

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.
