Riesling Schiefergestein Schäfer Fröhlich QbA dry

Slate defines this Riesling from the first note to the long finish — stony, salty, lively. An introduction to the Schäfer-Fröhlich universe that shows what the Nahe can do on this soil.

Weingut Schäfer-Fröhlich from Bockenau has been one of the top addresses for German Riesling producers for years. Tim Fröhlich cultivates the steep slopes in the Nahe side valley on weathered slate and sandstone — soils that give the Riesling its characteristic spice and tension. The Schiefergestein is the entry-level wine in the range, but stylistically it clearly follows the same path as the estate's great single-vineyard wines.

On the nose, stony and salty with Boskoop apple and a hint of citrus peel. On the palate, it shows a firm body and clear acid structure — not a soft charmer, but a Riesling with backbone. The minerality is present and direct, the finish long, salty, with a hint of tart apple.

Serving temperature 10–12 °C. Pairs with fried zander, tarte flambée with crème fraîche, or a mature goat cheese.

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.
