Schäfer-Fröhlich Bockenauer Riesling Trocken Schiefergestein 2022

The 2022 Riesling Schiefergestein is made from the 20-30-year-old vines in the Bockenauer Felseneck. A very light and poor soil explains the filigree nature of the wines. The nose is still full of yeasty funk, but a zesty citrus world opens underneath with a pure, thrilling streak of pale lemon peel that is strait-laced, stony and thrilling. This is lightness and depth in a disarming citrus package. The 2022 is slender, taut and crystalline. (Bone-dry)"
