The Rieslings from the famous Zöbinger Heiligenstein vineyard almost always display a very distinctive minerality originating from the unique geology consisting of volcanic rock and desert sandstone. The wines from this remarkable site usually need some bottle age to open up. When mature, they show impressive structure and very distinctive aromatics reminiscent of white, often exotic fruit and strong minerality. The ageability of the Heiligenstein Rieslings is legendary.
Medium green-yellow. Subtle apricot and vineyard peach with a hint of wild meadow herbs and flinty minerals. Juicy, with sweet yellow peach harmoniously bedded in an elegant structure with finesse. The elegant fruit finish lingers long. Outstanding ageing potential.
Food recommendations:
A great match with grilled meat, goose, duck and game birds as well as richer fish such as salmon, swordfish and catfish, and sushi or sashimi. Stunning with matured white and red cheeses.
