NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Wagner-Stempel Siefersheim Porphyr Riesling is a stunning white wine with a clear, light yellow color that immediately catches the eye.On the nose, it offers an intense and complex scent that is both fruity and herbaceous, with prominent notes of vineyard peach and apricot accompanied by subtle hints of mint and lemon balm. On the palate, this Riesling is dry and refreshing, with a lively acidity that perfectly balances the wine's mineral body. With a medium volume and amazing length, the wine finishes with a medium balance that leaves a lasting impression. Overall, this is an excellent example of a Riesling Spätlese and would pair well with seafood dishes or a light chicken dish.

Region: Rheinhessen
Rheinhessen is Germany's largest wine region, located in the Rhine River Valley in the western part of the country. It is known for its diverse range of wines, from dry whites to sweet dessert wines. The region has a long history of winemaking, dating back to the Roman Empire.
Rheinhessen has been producing wine since the Roman Empire, when it was known as the province of Germania Superior. The region was an important center of winemaking during the Middle Ages, and it was here that the first German wine laws were established. In the 19th century, the region experienced a period of decline due to the phylloxera epidemic, but it was revived in the 20th century with the introduction of new grape varieties and modern winemaking techniques. Today, Rheinhessen is one of the most dynamic wine regions in the world, with many winemakers adopting innovative approach to winemaking.CUSTOMER RATING
