Tasting notes
Hirsch's 2020 Ried Heiligenstein 1ÖTW Kamptal Riesling is very clear, bright and elegant on the aromatic yet refined, fresh and coolish, citric, flinty and crystalline nose. Juicy, fine and elegant on the palate, this is a charming, piquant and sustainably structured Heiligenstein with grippy phenolics on the still dry but also lush and round finish. Very elegant yet not with the depth and complexity of the finest 2020s from this cru. Tasted in Grafenegg, September 2021.

Still quite closed on the nose, but refined and delicate, with a wide spectrum of aromas from basil to mandarin orange. On the palate it creeps up on you slowly, but then wave after wave of minerality washes over you, each mightier than the previous one. From biodynamically grown grapes with Respekt certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2022. Screw cap.
