🏰 The 2009 Schäfer-Fröhlich Bockenauer Felseneck Riesling GG (Grosses Gewächs) comes from a highly acclaimed producer, with Schäfer-Fröhlich winning the "Gault Millau Wine Maker of the Year" award for 2010. The 2009 vintage for dry Riesling has been noted as having made a complete turnaround in recent years, now among favorite vintages for many. This wine is described as a deep, powerful, and serious Riesling, with great mineral depth on the nose, very pure, lots of apple and lemon fruit and skin, and a touch of honeyed complexity. It tastes mature, big, and dense, yet manages to be light on its feet, with a leesy, serious character of real depth and class. Other notes mention ripe notes of spiced pink grapefruit and white peach, blending with smoky raspberry, cassis, orange, and lime on the palate. The acidity is particularly ripe and intense, providing fantastic tension and a long, saline finish. 【 Award-winning producer's powerful and elegant dry Riesling 】 🍴 This intense and complex dry Riesling is incredibly versatile. It would be an excellent pairing for rich seafood dishes like pan-seared scallops or grilled salmon, roasted pork with apple, or even Asian cuisine with a touch of spice. Its acidity and minerality also make it a great match for mature goat cheese or a traditional German pork roast (Ribbe). 🥂 This wine is perfect for a sophisticated dinner, a gathering with friends who appreciate fine German Riesling, or a special occasion where a wine with both power and elegance is desired. The 2009 vintage is drinking beautifully now but has years ahead, with some suggesting it can age for another 20 years. Serve chilled, around 10-12°C (50-54°F). While often enjoyed without decanting, a brief aeration might allow its complex aromas to fully express themselves.
