Wagner-Stempel

After making my appointment with young Daniel Wagner, I learned that he had just been accepted into the VDP and had received a major prize. I was soon hearing grumbling along my route about yet another young unknown in a town with obscure terroir said to be putting on airs and attracting unwarranted attention. Wagner will have the last laugh: this vintner and his wines are the real deal. Located just a few miles east of Bad Kreuznach and the NaheRiver, Siefersheim features the highest vineyards in Rheinhessen: moderately sloping and well-ventilated sites of quartzite and porphyry (sometimes quite stony), loess, loam and clay. Wagner, who farms nearly 30 acres, nearly half planted to riesling, is an earnest, experimental-minded, and-to judge by this year's results-amazingly consistent vintner. Incidentally, this is another estate that has begun dispensing with designations of Pradikat when it comes to their dry wines.
