Wagner-Stempel, Riesling Siefersheimer Heerkretz GG 2022
Disclosure: I have a commercial relationship with this producer. See my ethics and disclosure policy.
Rhyolite. One of the highest sites in Rheinhessen. The name comes from "scratching" and refers to the vineyard's difficult workability. WOW! Spectacular nose. Love this. Pungent and exotic. Black cherries, cassis, green wild herbs, desiccated flowers. Wonderful salty, exotic palate with terrific fruit concentration and beautiful wood integration. Wine of the tasting so far.
