Schäfer-Fröhlich Riesling Felsenberg Grosses Gewächs 2018

- 93 Punkte WEINWIRTSCHAFT: "Hopfen, Schießpulver, dahinter leicht schotig, weiße Johannisbeere; saftig, mit fruchtsüßem Schmelz, stoffig, einladend, bleibt intensiv und fruchtig am Gaumen, charmanter Süßekick."

- 95 Punkte WINESPECTATOR, Aleks Zecevic: "Impressive balance and complexity show the pedigree of this dry Riesling, while its elegance, silky texture and complexity lure you in. This is still a bit young and tightly coiled, but notes of jasmine, bergamot, white raspberry and nectarine are pure and mingle nicely already. Very focused, with laserlike acidity and mineral backbone that will keep this going for a long time. Best from 2022 through 2035."

- 18 Punkte JANCIS ROBINSON, Michael Schmidt: "Some may call it reductive perfume, while my associations take me to the dentist’s treatment surgery with its medicinal aura. Once trepidation ceases, one is free to enjoy the exhilarating freshness of basil and mint, and on the palate the fruit of apricot and peach is well served by a sprinkling of green herbs. As the taste goes on, rocky minerality takes over from the sweet yet crunchy fruit and takes the Felsenberg into a long cool finish. Drink 2021– 2030"

- 17,5 Punkte WEINWISSER: "Kräutrigwürzige Nase mit reduktiven und spontanhefigen Noten. Am würzig-mineralischen Gaumen geht es saftig und salzig-mineralisch weiter, extrem trocken und mit zart phenolischen Noten, die feinschmelzige Textur bringt Charme, nach hinten total kräutrig und finessenreich."

- 95+ Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Stephan Reinhardt: "The 2018 Felsenberg Riesling GG opens with a deep, intense and rich, concentrated and aromatic but also flinty bouquet full of ripe Riesling fruits and coolish herbal/vegetal as well gooseberry aromas. On the palate, this is a lush, intense, very mineral, salty-piquant and tightly structured dry Riesling from volcanic rocks. It's a powerful but elegant, fresh and precise Riesling with great complexity and lingering salinity. A fabulous Felsenberg with lots of vitality and youthful grip. 13% alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in August and October 2019."
