Superb wine to start the evening. The nose was surprisingly open, especially for this producer - pineapple, grapefruit, sea breeze, fresh herbs, and white flowers. Stacked and powerful, you can really feel a pressure weighing down on the palate yet in typical Schäfer-Fröhlich manner, the finesse and elegance of the wine is undeniable, courtesy of the piercing acidity, herbaceous-ness, and long salty finish. While it drank well, I do feel it still needs time to shed more baby fat and bring more seamlessness. For such a strong performance, it was surprisingly not the white of the night. — 3 years ago

Older vintage. Lighter and whiter. Smells great. Apples and citrus. Hint of rocks. Flavors are easy, smooth and luscious. Creamy. This is a lovely white. Complex, clean and lovely. — 3 years ago

Dynamite stuff. 2006 is very good in the Nahe. Herbal nose, white cherries, apricots, super mineral, very clean. Palate is rich but super precise with lovely tangy apricot, grapefruit and Rainer cherry. Fresh and energetic with an icing like texture. Long, clean and super pure. Wonderful depth. — 6 years ago

Now in a line up with Rebholz 15‘s and Schäfer Fröhlich 16’s this guy struggles. It needs some age and is currently in it’s dumb phase. More linear and less fruit than last time when I tried the wine. Elegant steely and light. Lime wintergreen and chalk. — 7 years ago

 after a first reductive whiff there is pure and pristine lemon-like citrus with some green melon. The palate is where it’s at with smoky minerality and electric acidity — 4 years ago

If you’re not yet acquainted with fine Franconian Silvaner, you owe yourself the pleasure. Franken is a dry wine oriented region and the wines are as unique and characterful as their traditional flagon shaped bottles. Michael Fröhlich in Escherndorf is a top VDP grower in the top rated Lump. Fresh, clean, ripe, balanced “modern” style wines that clearly express their terroir, but almost any Franconian VDP grower will not disappoint. — 4 years ago

This is a curious Riesling. The nose smells odd like petrol spilled on clay. On the palate there's a lot going on and it sustains nicely. Might be interesting in a decade or so. Until then I'm going to pass. — 7 years ago
