Schäfer-Fröhlich

Nahe Riesling from slate and volcanic soils, ranging dry to dessert.

Schäfer-Fröhlich produces Riesling from the Nahe region in Germany, where slate and volcanic soils shape wines of mineral precision and aromatic intensity. The winery's top expressions include the Bockenauer Felseneck Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel and the Felseneck Riesling GG—both concentrated, age-worthy renderings of the variety. A Trockenbeerenauslese from the same vineyard site rounds out the portfolio, capturing the botrytized intensity that the Nahe's cool climate and microclimate variation enable. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, and Decanter. Riesling from this region expresses itself through bright acidity, stone-fruit and citrus character, and the ability to range from bone-dry to lusciously sweet depending on harvest conditions and winemaking intent. Schäfer-Fröhlich's focus on single-vineyard Riesling reflects the Nahe's terroir-driven tradition.
