Tasting notes
The Zöbing 2022 Riesling Ried Heiligenstein-Rotfels 1ÖTW opens with a clear, bright, intense and tangy as well as floral-scented and finely intense bouquet of white fruits and crushed stones. Thyme aromas populate this textural Riesling from the Heiligenstein that grows on ancient, hand-laid stone terraces with feldspar-rich red sandstone in the subsoil, giving the Rotfels its name and ensuring its characteristic minerality. This full-bodied wine is remarkably fine and elegant, carried by ripe yet vital acidity, fine tannins and a mineral/saline backbone. The finish is intense and lush, with stimulating citrus freshness and delicate bitters. This is an excellent Heiligenstein that was bottled for the second time after the inaugural 2021. 13% stated alcohol. Screw cap. Tasted in December 2023.

Zöbing. South- and south-west-facing slope. Reddish brown sandstone with a high feldspar content, coarse conglomerates and minor siltstone. Screwcap. Certified organic (EU BIO) and biodynamic (Respekt Biodyn). Perfumed spice with charming aromas of apple blossom and ripe orange and peach. And Orange Julius , just without the heavy cream. Generous fruit on the somewhat sweeter/riper palate, and a drying, zesty spice on the long finish. Easy to overlook this one as the quiet fruitiness belies the true depth. (PS)
