From the plateau of the Heerkretz and vinified in stainless steel and stücks for nine months, the 2018 Riesling Siefersheim Porphyr is intense and aromatic on the nose but also mineral and complex, with spicy red pepper and crushed stone notes. On the palate, this is juicy and refined yet also pure and elegant, with fine tannin grip and lingering minerality and salinity. An impressive Riesling and coolish, although, again, this is a 2018. A stunner! This was 100% whole-bunch pressed. Tasted at the domaine in March 2020.
