Tasting notes
The medium-golden colored 2017 Heissenberg Riesling comes from a very warm terroir on pink sandstone soils in a south-facing lieu-dit. It opens with an intense and elegant bouquet of fully ripe Riesling berries intertwined with iodine, lemon and flinty notes. Full-bodied, saline and refined on the palate, this is a rich, intense and powerful yet also precise, crystalline and very elegant Riesling with a long, intense and savory finish full of lemon piquancy and salty bitters. Impressive again. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in March 2023.

A complex nose with such rich and ripe fruit that is very composed. Thereâs honey, wet chalk and a flinty edge here, too. The palate has a steely edge with plenty of power, weight and drive. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinking well now, but will cellar nicely, too.
