The Zöbinger Heiligenstein is one of the great Riesling hills of the world, and its soil is genuinely strange: a reddish, 270-million-year-old desert sandstone shot through with volcanic conglomerate, laid down in the Permian era and now somehow sitting at the surface. Vines almost never get to grow on rock this ancient, and you can taste the difference — this dry Riesling has a smoky, mineral intensity that only Heiligenstein delivers. Jurtschitsch farms it organically, ferments wild, and raises the wine in big old oak foudres so nothing gets in the way of the site. This is Kamptal's benchmark cru, from a family that has worked it for generations. Cellar it, or open it and taste 270 million years.

"The 2023 Riesling Heiligenstein, from vines that are almost 60 years old, still shows the slightest reduction on the nose, along with serene, cool pale citrus that seems to have a cooling effect. On the palate, it is linear, taut and bright, a picture of zestiness with potency and immense linearity. Simply beautiful." —Anne Krebiehl, MW

More about Jurtschitsch

Alwin Jurtschitsch and his wife Stefanie took the reins of his family's Langenlois estate in the late 2000s, with a cellar some 700 years old, and converted every vineyard to certified organic farming. They fight mildew with whey instead of copper sulphate and fill the rows with fruit trees, garlic and wildflowers. In the cellar it is spontaneous fermentation and minimal sulfur, aiming for the classic, cool Kamptal style of their grandparents. Expect taut, elegant Grüner Veltliner and Riesling from sites like Heiligenstein and Loiserberg.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Trout or pike with brown butter, roast chicken, or spicier fare like Thai green curry.

Tasting Profile

Dry, taut, and mineral, with stone fruit, citrus, and a smoky, stony intensity. Powerful and built to age.
