TN: 2016 Schäfer-Fröhlich Schloßböckelheimer Kupfergrube Riesling Großes Gewächs

Just opened, and it’s gorgeous. Cross Riesling with molten metal and you get this wine. It’s going to take hours/days to find the depth here. More updates later.

Can’t remember…are these vines ex-Dönnhoff? If not, who holds that plot now?

The former State Domaine has the Dönnhoff plot.

Thanks, David.

Cheers

Update a couple of hours after opening:

If you were to spritz citrus on iron rocks you might approximate this wine.

I left about 1/3 of the bottle to check tomorrow night. Glad to have 2 more.

Finished it up tonight, and the sheer density of this wine is impressive. Unraveling could take a decade.

Thanks for the impressions David.
Tim has been dialed in for some time… Glad to hear that the ‘16 Kupfergrube is singin’ for you.

Good info thx.
