Schäfer-Fröhlich Bockenauer Riesling Trocken Schiefergestein 2021

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%). Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2022.
