Beerenauslese means \"berry selection,\" and Halenberg suits the style. The estate says its old vines there are under heavy stress and ripen small, very aromatic berries. The slope lies just east of Monzingen at 160 to 220 metres, faces south and south-west at gradients up to 70%, and sits on a stony conglomerate of blue-grey slate and quartzite that warms easily and makes it a rather dry site. Tim Fröhlich made this wine ten years after his first vintage in 1995. Back then Bockenau, the estate's home village, wasn't known for noteworthy wines, and it was Helmut Dönnhoff who pointed an importer toward the young Fröhlich. Low yields and strict wild-yeast fermentation are the house rule, and the estate says a dark, pure spice runs through its Halenberg wines. The twenty years of cellaring are already done for you, and that's a big part of the appeal.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50524951052345,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-40-4","price":219.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Schafer-Frohlich-Monzinger-Halenberg-Riesling-Beerenauslese-2005-375ml-Dessert-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1790154117","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/schafer-frohlich-monzinger-halenberg-riesling-beerenauslese-2005-375ml","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
