The historic site can be traced back through official documents to at least 1290, where it was called the “an frauwenhalten” and was the site of a nunnery. H.O. Spanier rescued the Frauenberg from oblivion and placed it back in the consciousness of wine lovers. While purely south facing, the exposed site on the Frauenberg experiences constant cooling winds, with a broken limestone top layer and a base substrate of solid limestone. The vines dig deep into the hard, mineral-rich soil. This lends them a self-sustaining character and allows for long, healthy vegetative periods, even in extreme years.

In its youth, Frauenberg is more of a sketch than a highly shaded and detailed self-portrait. Stony and austere, it is reminiscent of wet gravel while cooling notes of fresh chervil and cucumber peel complement the citrus fruit, apricot stone, and apple skin. Unmistakable dark aromatics and smoky overtones deliberately shape the precise outline. A pulsating pressure builds on the tense palate, even as the nearly orchestral acidity acts like a conductor, guiding extract, phenolics, and minerality to each play their part. Complex and nuanced, it is a wine whose potential requires not only a decanter but also a few years of bottle maturation. Frauenberg is a mineral-driven wine with a tremendous affinity for fine cuisine. Lobster, seafood, sashimi, and dishes that feature soy sauce make for great pairings, while finely-prepared German classics like KönigsbergerKlopse and Braten in horseradish sauce push it toward the sublime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**PLEASE CONTACT US TO INQUIRE ABOUT AVAILABILITY OF BACK-VINTAGES**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType: \u003c\/strong\u003eWine, White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rheinhessen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Riesling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation: \u003c\/strong\u003eVDP Grosse Lage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlc%:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-07-13T14:13:24-04:00","created_at":"2022-04-28T12:47:45-04:00","vendor":"Battenfeld Spanier","type":"Wine, White, Riesling, Battenfeld Spanier, Rheinhessen, Germany","tags":["Country_Germany","Price_$50-$75","Type_White","Type_Wine","Type_Wunderwein"],"price":7700,"price_min":7700,"price_max":7700,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":40096184336438,"title":"750ml","option1":"750ml","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"SNFH69YCTW44G","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Battenfeld Spanier Frauenberg Riesling GG 2020, 750ml - 750ml","public_title":"750ml","options":["750ml"],"price":7700,"weight":1451,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":3,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/www.grapeshotnyc.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/battenfeld_frauenberg_2020.jpg?v=1653599684"],"featured_image":"\/\/www.grapeshotnyc.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/battenfeld_frauenberg_2020.jpg?v=1653599684","options":["Size"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":23180209782838,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.75,"height":1333,"width":1000,"src":"\/\/www.grapeshotnyc.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/battenfeld_frauenberg_2020.jpg?v=1653599684"},"aspect_ratio":0.75,"height":1333,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/www.grapeshotnyc.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/battenfeld_frauenberg_2020.jpg?v=1653599684","width":1000}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cdiv title=\"Page 7\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 8\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Frauenberg lies in the southern Wonnegau, north of Hohen-Sülzen heading towards Flörsheim at an elevation of up to 280 meters and up to 40% gradient.
