Rheinhessen Pick #2: The 'Villages' Sites
This curated 6-pack features two examples of villages-level Riesling wines from the Rheinhessen. Declassified GG are heavily represented in these blends.
3x Keller Von der Fels 2024 'The wine displays bright, elegant, fresh and delicately spicy fruit with citrus and salty notes. Lean, elegant and juicy on the palate, with plenty of salt, a firm structure and lively citrus notes, this is an almost light, aromatic and very drinkable dry Riesling from shell limestone and limestone soils. It has a savory finish.' 93 points. Stephen Reinhardt, the Wine Advocate 3x Wagner Stempel Porphyr 2020 Wagner-Stempel’s Porphyr Riesling comes from the volcanic sites around Siefersheim, where porphyry rock defines the character of the wine. It sits in the Erste Lage (premier cru) tier, so you’re firmly in serious territory, but still with a bit more immediacy and genorisity than the GGs. The 2020 is a really strong example. Aromatically it leans more savoury. Wild herbs, citrus peel, a touch of stone fruit, and floral note that keeps it from feeling too tight. |
