Schäfer-Fröhlich
Vulkangestein Trocken Riesling
Nahe, Germany
You know in Pulp Fiction, when Ms. Mia Wallace is doing whatever illicit drug she's doing in the bathroom, and then says, "I said God damn!" -- well, this is my Ms. Mia Wallace moment. From the Nahe, this is the 2015 Schafer-Frohlich Riesling Vulkangestein Trocken. Coming from 30-40 year old vines in Felsenberg and Stromberg, the Estate's volcanic soil grand crus. For me, this encapsulates everything 2015 was meant to be... gorgeous, lush fruit, rocking acidity, beautiful balance, vivid aromatics, and laser-beam precision and tension. Damn. This is total prima ballerina dancing on your tongue. Nose/palate: lemon blossoms, orange blossoms, grapefruit, kiwi, passionfruit, so lively, and in-your-face minerality. Brilliant.
