Gobelsburg Riesling Heiligenstein 2021

Schloss Gobelsburg Riesling Heiligenstein 2021 is a full-bodied, single-vineyard white wine from the Kamptal region of Austria. Schloss Gobelsburg is one of the oldest and most-respected wine producers in the Danube region of Austria. Particular renown is reserved for their single-vineyard releases. The Erste Lage (First Growth) Heiligenstein (meaning `rock of the saints`) is one of the most revered vineyard sites in Kamptal, producing long-aged wines with a pronounced mineral dimension. "Very striking nose of mirabelle and wild herbs. Quite some richness and creaminess (from long sur lie maturation) for the Heiligenstein vineyard site, but it is married to an elegant acidity and delicate spice. Very long herb and floral honey finish that’s simultaneously ripe, dark and cool. Still a bit shy. Drinkable now, but best from 2025." Stuart Pigott
