95pts James Suckling

Forget what you heard about this vintage in Germany, here is a very exciting exception. What a mysterious dry riesling this is, the complex nose of fresh sage, anise and flint pulling you into the staggeringly focused, mineral palate. Dangerously energetic at the explosive wet-stone finish.

94pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

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%).

Winemaker Notes 

Riesling sourced from the same vineyards as the GG Felseneck. 25-35 year old vines. Flinty, slate-y and spicy with refreshing herbal fruit on the nose, along with hints of apricot and peach. Very complex on the palate with a long mineral driven finish.

Winery Notes

While wine making has been in the family since the 1800's, the winery just recently developed into a rising star over the past few years, adding another estate to the elite in the Nahe region. While father Hans takes care of the vineyards, wife Karin and son Tim are the winemaking team. With a low yield policy (average yield around 50 hl/ha) and the recent acquisition of more great vineyard sites to their holdings, the winery is well on the way to challenge top estates such as Dönnhoff and Schönleber.
