Schäfer-Fröhlich Schlossböckelheim FELSENBERG Riesling dry GG

The Felsenberg in Schlossböckelheim is one of the great Riesling sites of the Nahe — steep porphyry cliffs, deep weathered soils, a microclimate with pronounced day-night temperature differences. Tim Schäfer-Fröhlich vinifies this Grosses Gewächs with the precision for which the winery has been internationally known for years: spontaneous fermentation, long aging in large wooden barrels, minimal intervention.

In the glass, the wine shows a clear, fine-juicy structure: grapefruit and ripe quince meet flint and smoky minerality, plus a subtle herbal spice in the background. On the palate, pressure builds — the backbone is firm, the acidity precise and without sharpness. The finish is long, salty, and herbal, with a depth that points to significant aging potential.

Goes well with grilled sea bass with fennel, scallops in beurre blanc, or mature Comté. Drinking temperature: 11–13 °C. Those who give the wine one to two more years of cellar rest now will be rewarded with additional complexity.

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.
