Rheinhessen is known primarily for its slate soils overlooking the Rhine to the east, and limestone-based vineyards around Westhofen and Appenheim in the south. The volcanic soils further west are often overlooked, but there are some great vineyards here, particularly the Heerkretz, much of it owned by Wagner-Stempel, which has risen to be one of the region’s top estates in the last twenty years. The family has run the estate since 1845, producing bulk wine, but it wasn’t until Daniel Wagner took over that it rose to prominence. After a stint in California, Daniel snapped up parcels of prime volcanic vineyard around his home village of Siefersheim and began producing acclaimed wines. Today, Daniel runs the estate alongside his right-hand man Oliver Müller.
2022 Vintage
July is normally the wettest month in Western Rheinhessen, but 2022 saw just 8mmof rain, followed by 1mm in August. The vines shut down, and only resumed photosynthesis when the rain returned with a vengeance in September, with 100mm in 30 minutes in some areas, but fortunately not in the Wagner-Stempel vineyards!
While the acidity ripened, the sugars never properly caught up, so the wines are lighter and
less dense, more akin to a cool vintage rather than a sunny one. They are flowing, forward and very charming
