Wine Description:
Schäfer-Fröhlich Felseneck Riesling GG is an esteemed wine epitomizing the producer's expertise. Sourced from the prestigious Felseneck vineyard in Bockenau, it benefits from southern exposure and protection from the forest above. The soil is rich in Waderner Schichten, primarily consisting of blue Devonian slate conglomerates, basaltic debris, and white-gray quartzite, imparting a distinctive, multi-layered minerality to the wine. Careful winemaking techniques capture the terroir's essence, resulting in a Riesling with lively acidity, profound mineral nuances, and a harmonious blend of fruitiness and elegance.

The Felseneck vineyard, from which this wine originates, is located in the Nahe region of Germany. It is a steep, south-facing slope with a unique combination of volcanic and slate soils.

In terms of aroma, the Schäfer-Fröhlich Felseneck Riesling GG offers a captivating bouquet of ripe citrus fruits, such as lemon and grapefruit, along with hints of peach and apricot. There is also a subtle mineral note that adds to the wine's overall elegance. On the palate, this Riesling displays a perfect balance between acidity and sweetness. The acidity provides a refreshing and lively character, while the sweetness adds depth and richness. Flavors of juicy stone fruits, zesty citrus, and a touch of honey create a harmonious and complex taste profile. The Schäfer-Fröhlich Felseneck Riesling GG is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but it also has great aging potential. With time, the flavors will further develop and evolve, revealing even more layers of complexity.
