Schäfer-Fröhlich Bockenau FELSENECK Riesling dry GG
The Felseneck vineyard in Bockenau is one of the great Riesling sites of the Nahe Valley: weathered porphyry and slate characterize a soil that imparts a distinctive minerality to the wine. Tim Fröhlich, who runs the Schäfer-Fröhlich winery in its fifth generation, has been among Germany's most precise Riesling producers for years—his Grosses Gewächs wines from Bockenau are considered the benchmark for dry Nahe Riesling.
In the glass, the Felseneck GG displays the typical characteristics of the vineyard: white peach and citrus peel take center stage, beneath which lies a smoky, stony note derived from the weathered porphyry soil. The acidity is precise and persistent without being harsh—carrying the wine right through to the saline, lingering finish. Body and texture are dense, but never heavy.
Best served at 10–12 °C . Its drinking window easily extends to 2032, with further aging potential. At the table, it pairs well with turbot with beurre blanc, scallops, or a mature goat cheese—but a good piece of grilled sea bass with fennel also works superbly.
