Siefersheimer Riesling “Porphyr” QbA dry

Rheinhessen Riesling with real character: The “Porphyr” from Wagner-Stempel comes from one of the region's most renowned wineries and shows what Siefersheim can do – when the soil is right.

The Daniel and Kai Wagner-Stempel winery in Siefersheim is located in northern Rheinhessen, far from the major tourist routes. The namesake of the wine is the porphyry – a volcanic deep-seated rock that shapes the soils here and gives the Riesling its unmistakable mineral imprint. Wagner-Stempel has been in the top league of Rheinhessen Rieslings for years and manages the sites consistently with a focus on soil care and low yields.

In the glass, the Porphyr QbA shows fresh citrus aromas – lime and lemon zest – combined with white peach and a distinct mineral tone reminiscent of wet stone. The acidity is lively but cleanly integrated, the finish dry and salty. A wine that brings substance despite its accessibility.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Goes well with fresh goat cheese, grilled asparagus with herb vinaigrette, or light fish dishes like trout or sea bass.
