The Heiligenstein vineyard is one of the most famed and best crus in all of Austria. It is a special and unique geological formation on the European continent; existing as a geological island. The 30-60 year old vines grow on a complex sedimentary soil structure, on sandstone conglomerate with red arkoses and volcanic quartz porphyries. The narrow terraces yield a highly complex Riesling with strong personality.

"This firmly structured dry riesling shows off the serious side of the Heiligstein site, but also has plenty of citrus aromas. Still a bit closed, but with impressive depth on the medium-bodied palate, and the long finish is positively firm. Sustainable. Drinkable now, but best from 2026."

"Attractive combination of lime-citrus and crushed-stone mineral aromas. Just the very first suggestion of non-sweet honey. Powerful, sour-fresh. A big but vibrantly fresh wine, more flavour than finesse at this stage. Needs time. (JH)"
