  • About the Producer

    From his 21 hectares Tim Fröhlich produces uncompromisingly angular wines that display breathtaking energy, precision and finesse. He took over responsibility for making the wine in 1993, at the tender age of 19, and supported by his father, who looks after the vineyards, has elevated the estate to one of the very best in Germany. His principal holdings are in Bockenau – the flagship Felseneck and Stromberg – but he also has vines in the geologically diverse communes of Monzingen with the Halenberg and Frühlingsplätchen vineyards, and Schloßböckelheim with Kupfergrube and Felsenberg. These are wines that can be drunk young, but the best need years to showcase the terroir of their vineyards.

  • About the Latest Vintage

    Tim Fröhlich reports that the Nahe is not as dry as it used to be, and that it rained enough in the summer to avoid drought. He will of course concede that old vines are a big help, as their deep roots have access to water, but for him it was a perfect season. After a rapid start, ripening slowed in the heat of the summer, which he regarded as a good thing, since it meant that the grapes could benefit from the cool autumn nights to complete their maturation.  His yields are always on the low side, and he has lowered his canopy to slow ripening. He leaf plucks far less than in the past, as he dislikes the woody tannins the grape skins produce if exposed to the sun too early in the season.  

    His harvest began on 21st September and finished five weeks later. The grapes were so perfectly structured that he needed to do little in the cellar: macerating the juice with skins was not necessary, so he did it far less than in other years. The wines did not need extra power, so he racked them off their gross lees quickly and left them on the fine lees, which accentuated their finesse and elegance.   

    He has produced a magical set of wines: charming, complex and beautifully relaxed.
