NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Schäfer-Fröhlich Schiefergestein Bockenauer Riesling trocken is an exceptional wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Bockenau region in Germany.This dry Riesling displays a beautiful pale yellow color with green reflections, indicating its youthful nature.
On the nose, this wine offers an enticing bouquet of fresh citrus fruits, such as lemon and lime, accompanied by delicate floral notes of white blossoms. There is also a subtle mineral undertone, which can be attributed to the slate soils in which the grapes are grown.
The palate is equally impressive, with a vibrant acidity that brings a refreshing zing to the wine. The citrus flavors continue to dominate, with the addition of ripe green apple and a touch of peach. The wine's dryness is well-balanced, allowing the fruit flavors to shine through while maintaining a crisp and clean finish.
