Schäfer-Fröhlich Bockenau FELSENECK Riesling dry GG

The Felseneck in Bockenau is one of the great Riesling sites of the Nahe valley: weathered porphyry and slate characterize a soil that gives the wine an unmistakable minerality. Tim Fröhlich, who runs the Schäfer-Fröhlich winery in the fifth generation, has been one of 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 shows the typical signature of the site: white peach and citrus zest in the foreground, underneath a smoky, stony note that comes from the porphyry weathered soil. The acidity is precise and long without appearing sharp — it carries the wine into the salty, lingering finish. Body and texture are dense, but never heavy.

Best served at 10–12 °C. With further aging potential. At the table, it pairs well with turbot with beurre blanc, scallops, or a ripe goat cheese — but a good piece of grilled sea bass with fennel also works excellently.

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.
