From shallow red slate and very old vines, the Frühlingsplätzchen GG 2022 offers a bright and radiant bouquet with stony and spicy aromas intertwined with notes of crushed slate and lemon peel. Tight, salty and pure but also lush on the palate, this is a very precise, crisp and challenging Riesling with extreme mineral (slate) notes. This vintage will have a long life.

VDP (Verband Deutscher Pradikatsweinguter) Grosse Lage is the denominator for the very best German vineyards, which are precisely defined per plot. The VDP is an important organization with approximately 200 of the best wine growers in Germany. The VDP has mapped the quality of vineyards (and their wines) and divided them into Erste Lage and Grosse Lage, comparable to the Premier Cru and Grand Cru qualifications in Burgundy. With the VDP classification, the classification revolves around terroir rather than must weight. Unique wines with a special expression of the specific plot, a mature character and great maturing potential are born here. Only the very best grape varieties specifically suited to the vineyard enjoy the privilege of being planted for this purpose. The strictest possible production criteria guarantee the top of the VDP qualification pyramid.

About Schäfer-Fröhlich

The global demand for Schäfer-Fröhlich wines is increasing, as is the quality. Every new year seems like a new milestone for what Tim Fröhlich is capable of. The wines are exceptionally beautiful, perfectly balanced and have fantastic fruit. The success of Schäfer-Fröhlich is great. For example, his dry Riesling and the Spätlese Riesling were both declared the best in Germany at the 'Königsdisziplinen des German Rieslings' and in the Gault Millau 2013 his Spätleses finished in place 1 and 4.
Tim Fröhlich is called 'the master of spontaneous fermentation'.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Krachtig mineraal en kristalhelder van stijl, deze Frühlingsplätzchen GG toont aangescherpte citroen- en groene appeltonen, ziltige leisteenaccenten, een subtiele kruidigheid en een strakke, lange afdronk die uitnodigt tot rijping. Door die hoge zuurgraad en uitgesproken saline mineraliteit snijdt de wijn prachtig door vette vis en rijke schelpdieren, versterkt delicate smaken van sushi en sashimi en contrasteert evenwichtig met oesters en ceviche zonder ze te overheersen. Probeer hem bij gegrilde of in de oven gegaarde vette vis met knapperig vel en citroen, bij gestoomde of licht gebraiseerde schelpdieren, of bij sashimi met een vleugje yuzu of lichte sojasaus voor optimale harmonie.

The global demand for Schäfer-Fröhlich wines is constantly increasing, as is the quality. Every new year seems like a new milestone for what Tim Fröhlich is capable of. The wines are exceptionally beautiful, perfectly balanced and have fantastic fruit. The success of Schäfer-Fröhlich is huge. For example, his dry riesling and the spätlese riesling were both named the best in Germany at the 'Königsdisziplinen des deutschen Rieslings' and in the Gault Millau 2013 his spätleses finished in 1st and 4th place.

Tim Fröhlich is called 'the master of spontaneous fermentation', and according to the Gault Millau, the prices of his wines in an international context are 'a joke'. And as Eichelmann says in his eponymous guide: "The wines are getting better and better, have even more precision. Both the dry and the noble sweet Rieslings from Schäfer-Fröhlich are the best in Germany.'
