Weingut Wagner-Stempel Heerkretz Riesling Grosses Gewächs 2022 is driven by piercing citrus and cool stone, layering mandarin, tangerine zest and subtle herb tones over a sleek, tightly coiled frame. The palate feels concentrated yet finely etched, with great tension and a long, saline, rock-inflected finish that points to serious aging potential despite its current youthful restraint.
Thai basil chicken, sashimi-grade tuna with citrus ponzu, salt-baked sea bass

Wagner‑Stempel’s Grosses Gewächs “Heerkretz” is a dry, classically steely Riesling from the steep, porphyry‑rich Heerkretz site in Siefersheim (Rheinhessen), prized for its limestone/rocky, high‑elevation terroir. The wine shows precise citrus and white‑stone fruit framed by herbal, saline and volcanic mineral notes, bright incisive acidity and a long, savory finish — a taut, terroir‑driven Riesling built for both early pleasure and long ageing.
