Schafer-Frohlich Riesling Stromberg GG (1.5L)
From Nahe
| Vintage: | 2021 |

| Description: | 98-99 Wa / 97 JS / 17.5 Jr. 12.5% alcohol. The 2021 Stromberg Gg offers a bright and pure, enormously radiant and earthy/herbal bouquet of crushed porphyry rocks and concentrated Riesling berry aromas intermingled with iodine notes. Great purity mixed with intensity and complexity. Full-bodied, refined and enormously salty on the palate, this is a compact, fresh and challenging dry Riesling with elegant and rich fruit, great density and no makeup at all. This is a bone dry but juicy wine that represents a long-distance runner with salty grip and tension. Tasted as a sample at the domaine in July 2022.-- Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate. Take a trip under the volcano! Still a touch of youthful, leesy funk, but that doesn't distract from the fascinating hibiscus, flint and wild-herb aromas. How this concentration of minerality can be crammed into a silhouette this sleek is also a mystery to me, but clearly it's possible! Diamond-bright finish that must be tasted to be believed. From organically grown grapes with Fair'n Green certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2023.-James Suckling. A touch more fumy than the Felsenberg, gorgeously smoky/mineral first impression. Mouth-watering lemon and grapefruit tension on the palate, firmly structured by the acidity and perfectly balanced by the fruit and the savoury smokiness. -- Julia Harding Mw, Jancis Robinson |
