Schafer-Frohlich Schiefergestein Riesling Trocken 2021

Riesling from Nahe, Germany

Winemaker Notes

Riesling sourced from the same vineyards as the GG Felseneck. 25-35 year old vines. Flinty, slate-y and spicy with refreshing herbal fruit on the nose, along with hints of apricot and peach. Very complex on the palate with a long mineral-driven finish.

While wine making has been in the family since the 1800’s, the winery just recently developed into a rising star over the past few years, adding another estate to the elite in the Nahe region. While father Hans takes care of the vineyards, wife Karin and son Tim are the winemaking team. With a low yield policy (average yield around 50 hl/ha) and the recent acquisition of more great vineyard sites to their holdings, the winery is well on the way to challenge top estates such as Dönnhoff and Schönleber.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with spicy dishes, Thai food, and fish dishes.
