This time, it is not the Riesling from the Felseneck vineyard that takes the honours, but the one from the Monzinger Halenberg. This is one of the great Riesling vineyards in the west of the Nahe Valley: steep, barren and characterised by blue slate and quartzite. Tim Fröhlich presents a Riesling here that is unmistakably Schäfer-Fröhlich – first that typical smoky, reductive note, then lemon zest rather than overt fruit, and a pleasantly tart hint of grapefruit. A subtle phenolic grip lends structure and drive.
