Riesling, Ried Heiligenstein, Erste Lage, 2020
Tighter and cooler fruit coming after the Gaisberg, accompanied by elegant floral notes of violet and lavender, fresh white peach, citrus and cut mango. Very complex, with additional herbal and grassy notes, a taut powerful acidity and salty finish, the Heiligenstein is the jewel in the Riesling crown. One of Austria’s greatest sites, the Heiligenstein is a sandstone, volcanic site producing Rieslings rich in aroma and concentration. Fermented and raised exclusively in stainless steel.
critic reviews
The 2020 Ried Zobinger Heiligenstein 1OTW Kamptal Riesling opens with very intense and ripe fruit that is not as bright as some of its peers but darker toned and intertwined with the sandstone notes of this impressive grand cru. On the palate, this is a rich and massive Riesling with a firm phenolic structure and intense and juicy fruit. This is a Heiligenstein that needs to be aged for years. The finish is tensioned, pure and salty but also round and rich and indicates great aging potential. Tasted in Grafenegg, September 2021.
