Winery Wagner stamp
In the extreme west of Rheinhessen, only a few kilometers south of Bad Kreuznach, in the midst of a landscape of steep hills of volcanic origin with heathland, pristine streams, ancient quarries and overgrown rock walls lies Siefersheim, gateway to Rheinhessische Schweiz. In 1845, the foundation stone of Wagner's court was laid, and the earlier generations formed a well-known winery from the classical mixed operation and helped the locations Höllberg and Heerkretz in the first decades of the 20th century to supraregional importance. Winegrowing has been practiced in the Wagner family for nine generations, and Daniel Wagner has been responsible for the wines since the early 1990s. Since then, he has been concentrating on the classic grape varieties Silvaner, Pinot Blanc and especially Riesling, and switched the farm to organic farming. Far-reaching profit-reducing measures, manual deciduous and undercutting, as well as the selective hand-picking in autumn are cornerstones of his philosophy of wine production, which basically assumes that excellent wines are made in the vineyard. The fruits of this passion for wine show themselves every year in a wine characteristic that is animatingly fresh and clear on the one hand - provocatively complex and concentrated on the other hand. An original style as well-known critics attest to it, and the admission into the circle of the Prädikatsweingüter in the year 2004 as well as the awards to the climber of the year by Gerhard Eichelmann as well as by the Gault Millau WeinGuide are expression that the wines of Daniel Wagner really are something very special.
