  • 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 flagships Felseneck and Stromberg – but he also has vines in the geologically diverse communes of Monzingen, with the Halenberg and Frühlingsplätzchen vineyards, and Schloßböckelheim, with Kupfergrube and Felsenberg. These are reductive wines that can be drunk young, but the best take years to showcase the terroir of their vineyards.

    A large cuverie is under construction and will be ready for the vintage in 2023. Expect great things!

  • About the Latest Vintage

    Precision was the key for Tim Fröhlich in 2021. Careful planning and vigilance meant that his team did not have to up the frequency of spraying, but they had to keep a keen eye on the weather forecast to make sure it was done at the right time. Late budbreak made him realise that getting the fruit ripe was going to be the main issue of the vintage: ‘Fighting for must weight is never easy, but if you know ahead of time that’s a huge advantage,’ he said. This meant a careful management of yields through green harvesting, on the basis that fewer bunches means quicker ripening. A welcome push of maturity came in September and October with the arrival of fine weather, and a long harvest ended in the Felseneck on 12th November.

    The fruit was more delicate this year, and there was less skin contact than usual to preserve the vintage’s crystalline character. The press was adjusted to a gentler, slower pace, and the fruit was purer as a result. ‘Other regions can do power. We want finesse and minerality, which is far more difficult to pull off,’ said Tim. He has succeeded.

    Tim could not be happier. The grapes had a few degrees less ripeness than in the past few years, but for him that is a positive. He believes he has made the most homogenous and best vintage ever. Fortunately the GG vineyards produced a normal crop.
