Tasting notes
AP number 21 24. Even more smoky and stony than the Schiefergestein, more intense and powerful. Deep, chewy with a foundation of sour-citrus fruit but the fruit is in the background. I love this style but it is certainly distinctive and may not be a wine to please fruit lovers. (JH)

Tim Fröhlich's iconic Bockenau Riesling 2023 Felseneck GG shows a clear, bright, delicately aromatic nose of white stone fruits, crushed rocks and salt. Dense, powerful and zesty on the palate yet also aromatic, this is an enormously salty, salivating and stimulating wine with a damn long finish. Great. Tasted at the Vorpremiere VDP.Grosses Gewächs in Wiesbaden in August 2024.
Smoky, fumy citrus. Highly focused palate with electric acidity and elegant, lissom fruit. The acidity is so beautifully integrated it's impossible to pull any individual thread. The power stems from the poised whole. Complex and delicious. Even minutes later the finish continues to shapeshift – a citrus kaleidoscope of endless combinations. (PS)
I love the way the cool, citrusy and ripe stone fruit aromas are intertwined with the smokiness in this sensationally precise and filigreed dry riesling. Enormous flinty energy that extends into every corner of your palate, together with lime and bergamot freshness. Enormously long, pure and salty on the medium-bodied, almost perfectly balanced palate. From organically grown grapes with Fair\'n Green certification. Drink from release.
