Siefersheim Heerkretz Riesling Großes Gewächs 2018 - Wagner-Stempel

The Siefersheim Heerkretz Riesling Grosses Gewächs from Wagner-Stempel is an outstanding, pure and expressive white wine from the oldest and best plots of the VDP.Grosse Lage Heerkretz in the Siefersheim wine-growing area in Rheinhessen. This top white wine is made exclusively from organically grown Riesling grapes.

This wine shows a clear, light yellow colour. A filigree and complex aroma, dominated by fruit aromas such as peach, citrus and passion fruit, is evident. Herbaceous notes such as mint and lemon balm complement the wine. On the palate, this German white wine provides a clear and finely juicy mouthfeel with elegance, style and serenity. This great wine has a high volume with great length, balance and depth. On the tongue, a ripe fruit prances with a vegetative to herbaceous spice and delicate floral nuances. A ripe, fresh and animating acidity makes the Wagner stamp Heerkretz Riesling GG appear lively and gives it an enormously racy expression. Its complex, enormously compact, succinct mineral body gains in complexity and develops a certain saltiness in the excellent, long, juicy and gripping finish.
