Merry Christmas to all on Delectable! The best drop during our wine squad’s pre-Christmas gathering has to be this masterpiece from Tim Frohlich. Such insane concentration, yet so filigreed and focused. The trademark reduction and vintage's ripeness gave it such an intense jackfruit character. Notes of herbs, spices, and ripe oranges too, as well as hints of mint and white florals. The palate was dense, silky, and straight up powerful, but never heavy - it remained juicy, bright, and saline throughout. And the finish here was just something else. It went on and on, filled with zingy citrus and a smoky, stony minerality. Really impressive stuff here and definitely a worthy contender (vs. Felseneck) for the title of Schafer-Frohlich’s top wine. — a year ago

🏅 Rating 89/100 (3,9⭐)

Off-dry Kabinett. Very floral, delicate. White flowers, honey. Stone fruit. On the palate has some citrus with light bitter finish. Petrol notes are very gentle and almost not traceable, just a hint. Gastronomic wine with only 8.0% Alc. and pleasant fruity sweetness, good for an easy apero or as an accompaniment for pan-asian / oriental food. Residual sugar is nicely balanced with signature Riesling acidity.

PITTERMÄNNCHEN is VDP.GROSSE LAGE classified South facing vineyard in Dorsheim, Nahe with clay slate soils. Spontaneous fermentation and maturation in big 1,200l barrels.

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

Crunchy, light and invigorating on the palate, the 2016 Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) from Schäfer-Fröhlich shows lemon and pear, with a subtle smoky minerality that blends into a light creaminess at the back. — 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. — 5 years ago
