Bright lemon and peach notes tingle with grapefruit spice and sunny friendliness. The palate is precise, superbly slender and crystalline. Exquisite lightness and purity make this ripple across the palate. (Bone-dry)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTim Fröhlich once again presented a range of wines that perfectly reflect both site and the 2024 vintage. The combination of the vintage’s relative svelteness with Fröhlic’s exacting, precise and crystalline style makes you wonder how such slender wines can be so full-flavored.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFröhlich said his worst-hit frosted sites were in Schlossböckelheim, where he lost at least half of his fruit, with some hits in Monzingen and almost normal yields in the Halenberg. Sites in these two villages “required intense work” to ensure healthy fruit. This is why, in 2024, the Vulkangestein was sourced from Bockenau only, whereas it is usually made from fruit from the Schlossböckelheimer Felsenberg and the Bockenauer Stromberg. Fröhlich made no Kupfergrube GG in 2024, since “frost was terrible.” In Bockenau, there was no frost and yields were typical. Fröhlic remembered, “We thought 2024 was going to be a very early vintage [following the very early budburst], but in August and September we had cooler nights and things ripened very slowly.” Picking started on September 28 and finished on October 18. “We did not break, and we could not have started any earlier as acid levels were high. All the moisture of the year aided high extract levels,” he added. Two thousand twenty-four was the first vintage made in the brand new custom-made cellar, which affords more capacity. Fröhlic thus noted that the 2024 harvest was “mega-relaxed.” He managed to make minute quantities of Spätlese and Auslese in the Bockenauer Felseneck.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nahe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44165094932614,"sku":"ADV-Schafer-Trocken24","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/SchaferTrocken.png?v=1784213056","url":"https:\/\/www.winesolutions.com\/products\/schafer-frohlich-riesling-trocken-2024","provider":"Wine Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
