"Picked out earlier than the estateâs Grosses Gewachs and exclusively in dark slate-dominated parcels, Schafer-Frohlichâs 2010 Bockenauer Felseneck Riesling Spatlese drips lusciously with ripe pear, apple, and crenshaw melon, wreathed in peony and tinged with saliva-inducing salinity that renders its finish mouthwatering and invigorating. Another superbly balanced example of elements that on paper seem extreme, this ought to exhilarate (and may well become more complex) over the next 12-15 years."

The spiritual home of Riesling, producing wines of piercing acidity, precision and longevity across a spectrum from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. Cool, steep-sloped vineyards along the Mosel and Rhine yield some of the world's most delicate, long-lived whites.
A highly aromatic white of piercing acidity and transparency to terroir, ranging from bone-dry to lusciously sweet. It ages remarkably and is the noble grape of Germany and Alsace.
