Wagner Stempel Siefersheimer Riesling Trocken Porphyr 2016
20.09₣ (Inc. VAT bot. 75 cl.) / Spain
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Golden in color and excitingly pure and dusty-mineral on the aromatic and well-concentrated nose, Wagner's 2016 Riesling Siefersheim 'Porphyr' is a gorgeous wine! Lush, lean and piquant but also complex and intense on the palate, with perfectly ripe and intensely aromatic fruit, this is an expressive dry Riesling with moderate 12.5% alcohol, which is often the best weight for a dry Riesling in Germany. The fruit is just perfect because it is ripe, focused and fresh, in perfect balance with the characteristic minerals of the volcanic soils and the stunning acidity of the 2016 vintage. Has this wine ever been better? Did I ever taste a better German Ortswein (village wine)?

Description
Wagner Stempel Siefersheimer Riesling Trocken Porphyr is a bottled treasure that represents the essence and tradition of the Siefersheim wine region. This wine, with its clear, bright yellow hue, invites us to immerse ourselves in a unique sensory journey.
Winemaking
The winemaking of this wine is carried out with a meticulous process that begins with a manual selection of the grapes, thus guaranteeing the selection of the best bunches. It comes from the best Riesling plots in Siefersheim, characterised by extremely stony soils, rich in sea shells and composed of sand, gravel and clay, with the particularity of having porphyry in the subsoil. Once the grapes are harvested, the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and in traditional German oak barrels, which gives it a unique structure and character.
Taste
Intense and complex aromas that combine notes of vineyard peach and apricot, complemented by vegetal nuances of mint and lemon balm. On the palate, it is dry, with a fresh and lively acidity that contrasts with its mineral body. Despite its medium volume, it surprises with its remarkable length and balance. The technical data indicate an acidity of 7.30 g, a residual sugar content of 5.30 g and an alcohol content of 12.50%.
