Ried Heiligenstein:
The terraced south and southwest facing slope has a unique geological history that has been preserved in this particular area. The outcropping bedrock consists of a reddish-brown sandstone with a high feldspar content, coarse conglomerates, and minor siltstone. These sediments formed approximately 250–280 million years ago under arid conditions, in lakes, ponds, and ephemeral rivers. The rocks contain fossilized plants and gravels with clasts of volcanic rhyolites. Loess is only preserved in a few locations, within shallow depressions.

"What a stunningly concentrated, stone-fruit beauty this is. The vitality and intensity of the wet-stone character on the medium body of this great Heiligenstein dry riesling is extraordinary. Breathtaking finesse in the superlong and focused finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. "

"Ripe citrus and a light woody/cedary note (not oak). Creamy and gently spiced. There's power on the mid palate here yet nothing out of balance. Deep and long, the freshness is there but it's not the first thing you notice. (JH)"
