Tasting notes
Like the Steinmassel vinified in stainless steel, the 2019 Ried Heiligenstein 1ÖTW Kamptal Riesling was bottled in late June 2020. The wine opens with herbal, minty notes of bright yet finely concentrated and even dried fruits. Full-bodied and enormously concentrated yet still very tight on the palate, this is an ambitious and grippy Heiligenstein that needs some years or a lot of aeration to sing. 12.5% alcohol. Tasted at Schloss Gobelsburg in June 2021.

Sandstone. The fruit is just one aspect to the aroma here. There is also a smoky/stony, almost reductive, quality. Extreme freshness, piercing finish but balanced at a modest alcohol level in this vintage. Long, direct, pure, revealing both the site and the variety. (JH)
