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. — 6 years ago

Residual sugar is still there but solid acidity makes it not read as cloying. A touch of maybe lychee and honey. It's rounded but still glides.

Great, focused Spätburgunder rosé from the Nahe. Another solid effort from Schäfer-Frölich. Appears there's barely any skin contact; pours a very pale, bright, almost silver-y copper color. Lean 'n' mean. A bit reductive at first; splash it into a decanter a bit before serving and it'll help it blow off though. On the nose, a pile of wet, crushed stone, cranberries, slightly underripe watermelon, a slight herbaceousness and a bit of lager-y lees character. The palate is pretty congruent in term of flavor to the aromatic character, with bright, high acid and just a touch of RS to help round it off and add a little extra oomph to the fruit character. Light, lean body. Incredibly food-friendly wine. Nice companion in this 95 degree heat. — 7 years ago

Another gorgeous wine from a wonderful winemaker. Almost as good as their amazing Riesling rose. Dry, crisp apple and pear flavors. Stunning. — 7 years ago

2003, given time, is bound to go down in #German #wine history as one of its greatest late-harvest vintages together with 1921, 1934, 1937, 1949, 1953, 1959, 1971, 1976...a remarkable achievement that will no doubt outlive us all! #Goldkapsel — 9 years ago

As with any awesome eiswein, the experience begins with anticipation watching liquid gold pour from the bottle. At first taste, the perfect amount of acid pinches the tongue and carries stone fruit and caramel notes across the finish line. Luxuriously viscous. Fantastic. — 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. — 6 years ago
