WINE DESCRIPTION
Schäfer-Fröhlich Riesling trocken is a white wine that showcases the exceptional winemaking skills of a renowned producer. Tim Fröhlich took over the winemaking duties from his father at the young age of 19, and impressed many with his initial wines. He has only gotten better with time. Hailing from the Nahe, the wines show similar tension to the Mosel but with greater generosity of fruit. The winemaking process involves meticulous attention to detail, the use of neutral vessels, and a cool ferment to maximize aromatic purity. This dry Riesling offers a harmonious balance of acidity and fruitiness, making it a versatile choice for pairing with a wide range of dishes. Its exceptional quality and distinct flavor profile make it a standout choice for wine enthusiasts seeking a memorable experience.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Schäfer-Fröhlich Riesling trocken has a pale, green tinted color in the glass.On the nose, this Riesling exhibits vibrant aromas of citrus fruits, such as lemon and lime, along with hints of green apple and white flowers. These aromas are complemented by a subtle mineral undertone, which adds complexity to the wine. The palate of Schäfer-Fröhlich Riesling trocken is crisp and refreshing, with a lively acidity that balances the fruit flavors. The citrus notes continue to shine through, accompanied by a touch of stone fruit, such as peach or apricot. The wine has a medium body and a well-rounded mouthfeel, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This is a great match for spicy Asian dishes and poached chicken salad.
