Schäfer-Fröhlich Schlossböckelheim FELSENBERG Riesling dry GG
The Felsenberg vineyard in Schlossböckelheim is one of the great Riesling sites of the Nahe region—steep porphyry cliffs, deep weathered soils, and a microclimate with pronounced day-night temperature differences. Tim Schäfer-Fröhlich vinifies this Grand Cru with the precision for which the winery has been internationally renowned for years: spontaneous fermentation, extended aging in large oak barrels, and minimal intervention.
In the glass, the wine displays a clear, delicately juicy structure: grapefruit and ripe quince mingle with flint and smoky minerality, accompanied by a subtle herbal spice in the background. On the palate, pressure builds—the backbone is firm, the acidity precise and without harshness. The finish is long, salty, and herbaceous, with a depth that suggests significant aging potential. Drinking window: 2026–2038.
Pairs well with grilled sea bass with fennel, scallops in beurre blanc, or mature Comté cheese. Serving temperature: 11–13 °C. Allowing the wine to cellar for another one to two years will reward you with additional complexity.
