The 2014 Schäfer-Fröhlich Felseneck GG is smoky and savory, with musky animal tones that really pull you closer to the glass, as notes of ripe pear and lemon citrus rind fill out it’s fruit component. On the palate, soft, round textures flood the senses, showing ripe orchard fruits offset by stimulating acids with penetrating minerals and sweet spice. The finish is long, resonating on fruit sweetness with notes of kiwi and peach, yet holding firm, perfectly framed by cheeking-pucking acids and spice. This comes across as larger-scaled than the surrounding vintages, yet balancing opulence and precision, making for an incredibly enjoyable glass of Riesling

This is a powerful wine. Dense, with mineral, formidable acidity and a touch of citrus. I imagine this will evolve for a long time. Delicious now.

A banger! We drank this side by side with A Keller 12 GG and the SF was by far the stand out for me. Very expressive and the tertiary flavors of petroleum were dancing!
