Riesling Felseneck Grosses Gewachs, Weingut Schäfer-Fröhlich 2023

The 2023 Riesling Bockenauer Felseneck Grosses Gewächs 2022, from blue Devonian slate, has immediate spice and slate savor, like citrus squeezed on dry stone—fragrant, lifted, soaring. The palate is as fine as a flexible blade, sharp and precise. Nothing here is about power or muscle. Everything is about grace, direction and finesse. If you want definition without weight, this is your wine. The citric dimensions reverberate and zestiness rules. What poise, what elegance. Wow. (Bone-dry) (Drink between 2034-2070)

Tim Fröhlich's iconic Bockenau Riesling 2023 Felseneck GG shows a clear, bright, delicately aromatic nose of white stone fruits, crushed rocks and salt. Dense, powerful and zesty on the palate yet also aromatic, this is an enormously salty, salivating and stimulating wine with a damn long finish. Great. Tasted at the Vorpremiere VDP.Grosses Gewächs in Wiesbaden in August 2024. Drink Date: 2025 - 2045

AP: 21 24. The Felseneck 2023 Riesling GG, as it is referred to on the consumer label, displays a stunningly elegant and reductive nose of fine spices, wild herbs, smoke, flint stone, white flowers, vineyard peach, white almond, cassis, and bacon. The wine is layered and refreshing on the intense and energetic palate. The finish proves straight, bone-dry, and outstandingly long. This superb dry Riesling combines elegance, finesse, raciness, and intensity: What a great success! 2029-2043
