This dry riesling is a total mineral bomb, with intense notes of wet stone, flint, and sea salt dominating both the nose and palate. The influence of blue Devon slate and quartzite soils is unmistakable, creating a razor-sharp, chiseled structure complemented by subtle yeasty undertones.

Robert Parker: 94 Points
Entirely sourced in the Felseneck, the 2021 Bockenauer Riesling Trocken Schiefergestein offers a fascinating, clear, precise and intense, slate-driven bouquet with crunchy stone and herbal notes. Impressively intense. On the palate, this is a rich and intense, dense and juicy yet also complex and saline, seriously and sustainably structured Bockenauer with a long and intense, very saline finish but also with the generous fruit and juiciness of a great wine. Tim Fröhlich's Schiefergestein is a Best Buy of the vintage. Powerful and long yet with moderate alcohol (12%).
