Description

Ried Heiligenstein
A south and southwest-facing terraced slope with a special geological extrusion, which has been preserved by the earth’s history. The solid rocks that rise to thesurface consist of feldspar-rich, reddish-brown sandstone and coarse conglomerates; there is random siltstone as well. The sediments were formed around 250 to 280 million years ago in lakes, ponds and periodically active rivers under a desert climate. Remains of fossilised plants and gravels of volcanic quartz porphyry can be found in the rocks. Some loess is preserved in sporadic shallow spots.

Grape variety: Riesling

Wine description

Discreet aroma with subtle scents of stone fruits and a whiff of grapefruit zest. A delightfully smooth and supple palate with a firm, athletic body; sleek,
polished acidity; beautifully juicy pomelo fruit - and great length and perfect balance. A full, velvety finish with lots of playfulness and agility. So much fun
- at the highest level

Wine description

Golden yellow with immense tears. Fine scents of apricot compote and vanilla pudding with hints of herbs de Provence, lemon verbena and - with more air -
hot stones and a handful of earth that holds them all together. Very dense with powerful minerality; a creamy mouthful delivering tones of candied fruit,
apple and zest; lovely extract sweetness with balanced acidity; also a fine saltiness. A calm yet demanding wine that thrills with its enormous minerality,
thanks to the lower alcohol level. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)

Wine description

Rich golden yellow hue and massive tears. Aromas of candied fruits, dried apricot, nectarine and a hint of dill. Mouth-fillingly creamy with discreet yellow fruit flavours; also an apple jelly note. Clear as a bell, rich and fullbodied with an excellent structure. Very firm with balanced acidity. Shows noble restraint - and such promising potential. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)

Wine description

olden yellow with a tinge of green. Pronounced tears. Initially restrained aroma, but opens with notes of grapefruit and herbal tea. Dense with a creamy mouthfeel and notes of quince jelly and lemon zest. The yarrow tone is underscored more by the minerality than the fruit. Extract sweetness with balanced acidity, a creamy
texture and a fine mineral bitterness on the finish. Calm yet demanding. Best in a large glass to express the fundamental minerality. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
