Schäfer-Fröhlich Riesling Schiefestein Schäfer Fröhlich QbA dry
Slate shapes this Riesling from the first note to the long finish — stony, salty, vibrant. An entry-level wine into the Schäfer-Fröhlich universe, demonstrating what the Nahe region can achieve on this soil.
The Schäfer-Fröhlich winery in Bockenau has been one of Germany's top Riesling producers for years. Tim Fröhlich cultivates the steep slopes in the Nahe side valley on weathered slate and sandstone – soils that impart the Riesling with its characteristic spiciness and vibrancy. The slate wine is the entry-level wine in the range, but stylistically it clearly follows the same path as the estate's top single-vineyard wines.
On the nose, stony and salty with Boskoop apple and a hint of citrus peel. On the palate, it displays a firm body and clear acidity – not a soft, crowd-pleasing wine, but a Riesling with backbone. The minerality is present and direct, the finish long, salty, with a touch of tart apple.
Serving temperature 10–12 °C. Pairs well with pan-fried pike-perch, tarte flambée with crème fraîche, or a mature goat cheese. Best enjoyed by 2027.
