  Precise and focused. Medium+ to high acidity, extremely well integrated. It delivers tons of lime, a little grapefruit, petroleum (which decreases over time), wet stone, a touch of mint and some unripe pineapple. Terrific balance and tremendous depth, especially after a little time in the glass, where the flavor profile really begins to shine. Good length as well. Drinking great at this point, but clearly has a lot of life left. This producer just never disappoints.

  This needs a little while to open up in the glass but wow! Paler-medium yellow color, not showing many signs of aging. Explosive, deep and lazer-sharp, this is showing beautiful notes of lime, lime zest, green herbs (basil and mint), some black tea, smokey minerality, crushed rocks and other mineral notes. It‘s medium-full bodied, but seems lighter due to that vein of really high acidity cutting through everything and adding precision and focus. Excellent mid-palate weight and beautiful length too. This still seems pretty young and a little less evolved than the Felseneck GG. But a totally stunning Riesling of the very highest level. I love Schäfer-Fröhlich!

  Translucent color. Primarily lemon and notes of yeast, at first it seems light, but there is high dry extract. Good length, still a youngster.

  Wine from Schäfer-Fröhlich is always welcome. This has opened up and is showing some early maturity. Still a touch of yeast but more of lemon and minerals than in its youth. Very nice.
