From the famed Heiligenstein vineyard in Kamptal, Hirsch’s Ried Zobinger Heiligenstein Riesling 2020 is a remarkable wine that showcases the terroir-driven precision of this renowned site. Known for its steep slopes and mineral-rich soils, Heiligenstein imparts both elegance and structure to the wine, allowing the Riesling to shine with its vibrant energy and complexity.

The nose is an inviting medley of citrus—lemon zest, lime, and grapefruit—paired with the crispness of green apple and subtle hints of white peach. As the wine evolves, delicate floral notes of jasmine and a touch of honey emerge, adding further depth to the aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing, with a dynamic acidity that lifts the fruit and enhances its vibrancy. The mineral backbone is prominent, reflecting the vineyard's slate soils and lending the wine an elegant, stony texture. The finish is long, clean, and precise, with lingering citrus and a dry, mineral-driven edge.

Perfect with seafood, Asian-inspired dishes, or grilled vegetables, Hirsch’s Heiligenstein Riesling 2020 is a wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of foods. While it’s already delightful now, its structure and minerality suggest it will age gracefully over the next decade, gaining even more complexity. A superb representation of Kamptal Riesling, this wine offers a perfect balance of fruit, freshness, and mineral character.

One reason that Weingut Hirsch's wines are so good is that Johannes Hirsch did a lot of things first. He was one of the first in Austria to dump Chardonnay and really focus on Kamptal's great varieties of Riesling and Grüner Veltliner. He was one of the first to farm biodynamically. He was first to switch all closures to stelvin. So he's had a longer time to perfect this style of hyper-artisanal winemaking than virtually anyone else in Austria.

There were hiccups along the way. Not everyone loved the Rieslings from the late aughts that ended up with some residual sugar. But it turns out that this was just what nature wanted to do in those vintages. And since then, Hirsch (and nature) have made nothing but classical, dry Grüners and Rieslings. He has avoided the trend towards higher octane Austrian wines that we have seen elsewhere. With lower alcohol levels, Hirsch shows the pure, crystalline essence of Austrian Grüners and Rieslings.
