Schäfer-Fröhlich is widely regarded as one of the Nahe's finest producers, and Felseneck, a steep slope of blue Devonian slate, basalt, and quartz, is considered the estate's most sought-after site. This Spätlese carries noticeable but well-integrated sweetness, balanced against the vineyard's signature racy acidity and pronounced mineral drive. Expect a nose of ripe orchard and stone fruit layered over crushed slate and citrus zest, with a juicy, tensioned palate that stays lively despite its residual sugar. A classic, age-worthy expression of Nahe Riesling from a site consistently ranked among Germany's very best.

"The 2023 Riesling Bockenauer Felseneck Spätlese is from old vines on

the south-facing part of the Felseneck. Smoky slate weaves itself

through tangerine juiciness, coloring all with its stony, austere allure.

This meets at the intersection of pleasure and restraint, a most

delicious contrast. The 2023 is enticing, long and vivid with zestiness. It

clocks in at 75 g/L of residual sugar. (Sweet)
