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.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 97
"The 2023 Riesling Heiligenstein is picked in the four lower terraces of the site, whole-bunch pressed and made in stainless steel. The most perfumed touch of conifer reaches the nose first, almost with a juniper lift, gentle but nonetheless sinus-clearing. The palate is gentler, with lovely stone fruit, referencing ripe apricot skin on a stony palate, full of juiciness and quiet intensity, understated, slow-burning and long with tart, ripe, aromatic citrus."

Jancis Robinson

JR 17.5
"Ripe citrus and a light woody/cedary note (not oak). Creamy and gently spiced. There's power on the mid palate here yet nothing out of balance. Deep and long, the freshness is there but it's not the first thing you notice."
