Schafer-Frohlich, Riesling Trocken Vulkangestein, 2024
Volcanic rock is the name, and it's the counterpart to Frohlich's slate-driven Schiefergestein: same cult Nahe estate, same everyday-dry format, but a completely different soil. The fruit comes from roughly 30-year-old vines on weathered volcanic porphyry and quartz in the celebrated Felsenberg and Stromberg slopes. Volcanic ground tends to give a smokier, rounder, more textured wine, and this one delivers, with tropical fruit lifted by citrus and a stony, almost salty finish. Fermented partly in large old casks and partly in steel, it's dry and impeccably balanced. Buy it alongside the Schiefergestein and taste slate against volcano.
