Schafer Frohlich Description
The Shäfer-Fröhilich consummation occurred in the 1970’s, but the family’s cultivation of vines reaches back to the 1800’s. In recent history the family has brought prestige and notoriety to the village of Bockenau. The Schiefergestein is grown in blue Devon slate and quartzite, with the slate showing in the glass. Citrus pastries, pink grapefruit, apricot, peach and a brioche note are turbo charged by streaking acidity.
James Suckling: 95 Points
Forget what you heard about this vintage in Germany, here is a very exciting exception. What a mysterious dry riesling this is, the complex nose of fresh sage, anise and flint pulling you into the staggeringly focused, mineral palate. Dangerously energetic at the explosive wet-stone finish.
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%).
