Schäfer-Fröhlich Riesling Schiefestein Schäfer Fröhlich QbA dry
Slate, salt, draft — the entry-level Riesling from Schäfer-Fröhlich shows what the Nahe region can achieve on slate soils.
Winery: Tim Fröhlich has been running the family winery in Bockenau in the northern Nahe region since 2004 and is now one of the most sought-after Riesling producers in Germany. The "Schiefergestein" (Slate Rock) is the entry-level wine in the range — vinified from grapes grown on slate soils, perfectly encapsulating the estate's style.
In the glass: A stony, salty nose with Boskoop apple and a distinct slate note. On the palate, it is delicately juicy and lively, with pronounced minerality and a firm structure. The finish is long, rich in extract, and lingers with a hint of tart apple—not a decorative wine, but one with real character.
Serving suggestion: 10–12 °C. Pairs well with pan-fried whitefish or trout, goat cheese, tarte flambée, or steamed vegetables with herb oil. Best enjoyed by 2027.
