Wagner Stempel Heerkretz GG Riesling 2023

The 2023 Riesling Siefersheimer Heerkretz Grosses Gewächs comes from around 20-year-old parcels on porphyry. Vivid bergamot and flint are deliciously heady on the nose, going straight to the sinuses and spelling pleasure. The palate is vivid, citric, tangy, pristine and so stony, salty and linear. A gentle sense of pith propels this forward, filling all the senses with heightened citrus tones. What a ride. (Bone-dry) (97) ANNE KREBIEHL MW, Vinous

The 2023 Riesling Heerkretz GG has a deep, very fine and clear bouquet of white and yellow peach, with notes of mango and hints of fine salt. Juicy, fine and elegant on the palate, the 2023 Heerkretz displays ripe, delicate acidity and a complex, intense length with lasting mineral depth and fine tannins. Once again, this is an impressive Riesling from the lofty heights above Siefersheim. Tasted at the Vorpremiere VDP.Grosses Gewächs in Wiesbaden in August 2024.
