Eichinger Ried Heiligenstein 1ÖTW

Learn More About This Wine

The Ried Zobinger Heiligenstein, with its weathered reddish desert-sandstone and volcanic rock, is one of Austria’s best Riesling sites. 250 million years ago, these deposits from lakes and rivers formed under desert-like climatic conditions. Today, flora and fauna found here between the grape vines are usually encountered in regions much further south. Riesling grapes, rich in extract and with an abundance of aromas, grow on the mainly south-facing terraced slopes.

Maceration, 5 weeks of fermentation, as well as the maturation on the lees took place in stainless steel tanks. Bottled in July.

Cool notes, an extreme manifestation of vineyard-peaches. A Firework of elegant fruit-sweetness on the palate. A truly characterful Riesling. Firm, dense, with tremendous pressure and focus. Clearly delivered minerality with a salty reverberation. A passionate Heiligenstein Riesling and an excellent and appetising food companion.

A melange of mandarin blossom, peach, apricot and dried mango peel garnishes the nose and coats the mineral palate, buffered by a searing sweep of lime acidity. Tense and focused, this is one for the long haul.
