Tasting notes
The 2021 Riesling Trocken Vulkangestein offers a clear and flinty bouquet of ripe and juicy white and yellow-fleshed peaches, apricots and mirabelles intertwined with flinty notes of crushed rocks. Round and lush but still fresh and piquant, this is a generous but elegant, refined and all-in-all coolish Riesling with ripe yet not all-too-ripe stone fruit aromas and crunchy fruit whose juice is perfectly interwoven with the mineral sound of music. 12% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted in July 2022.

VDP Ortswein. Fruit is sourced from 25-year-old vines from the Stromberg site. Fermented with ambient yeast, matured in stainless steel. Cask sample. Getting beyond the smoky reduction that makes Schäfer-Fröhlich's wines truly unmistakable, a deep range of citrus and herb aromas emerges. Some grapefruit, white currant and lime peel and hints of spring lilac. An elegant creaminess caresses the complex palate before wandering offstage in a slow, stony and noble fade. (PS)
