Schäfer-Fröhlich

If results here this year were not quite as amazing as in 2002, there can only be so many collections like that even in a decade. The team here is still in top form, rest assured, and those riesling enthusiasts who, like me, have only recently discovered Schafer-Frohlich have some catching up (and some buying) to do. "We were finished harvesting before the end of October," relates Karin Frohlich, "before the time when we started in many vintages. We didn't acidify any riesling. They all came in around seven or seven and a half grams of acid and I think that was sufficient. " A higher percentage of wines fermented spontaneously compared with last year, and while this may ultimately be a positive trend, it might also account for the overriding sense of youthful fructose and sweetness that in a couple of instances prevented me from judging wines to be star-worthy.
