Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 2017 Siefersheim Riesling Porphyr Q.b.A. trocken, Wagner-Stempel

The 2017 Riesling Siefersheim Porphyr shows great purity, precision and flintiness on the nose. What articulation, what precision! On the palate, this is a concentrated yet pure, fresh and bone-dry Riesling with grip, great tension and a challenging, stimulatingly salty finish. Tasted at the domaine in March 2020. - Stephan Reinhardt, Mai 2020

Wine Spectator - 2017 Siefersheim Riesling Porphyr Q.b.A. trocken, Wagner-Stempel

A gorgeous example, exuding passion fruit, guava and jasmine flavors, with zesty acidity and ample minerality. Very refreshing, featuring a slight up-front fizz that blows off with air. Reveals a complex, bone-dry finish in the end. Drink now through 2028. 2,500 cases made. - Jul. 2019

Vinous - 2017 Siefersheim Riesling Porphyr Q.b.A. trocken, Wagner-Stempel

Lime, white peach and apple on the nose translate into an infectiously juicy, invigoratingly zesty, piquantly pit-tinged impression on a polished palate. Bittersweet gentian perfume adds inner-mouth allure, while smoky and tinglingly stony notes lend tactile stimulation as well as fascination on a vibrantly sustained, mouthwateringly salt-tinged and consummately refreshing finish. This wine seems more buoyant and fleet-footed than its 12.5% alcohol would suggest.
