White dry
JurtschitschRiesling “Ried Heiligenstein” 2003, one of the most prestigious wines from the Kamptal region, is made from 100% Riesling grapes grown on the “Heiligenstein” hill, which is considered one of the best terroirs in Austria.
Aroma: Subtly floral, expressive, with notes of honey, ripe stone fruits, citrus (especially orange peel). It is complemented by elegant white pepper minerality and a light earthy touch, giving the aroma depth and complexity.
Taste: The wine is refined and balanced in the mouth. Bright but soft acidity is combined with a fruity character - peaches, limes, light spice dominate. The minerality of the wine leads to a long, elegant and refreshing aftertaste.
The grapes are grown on the organically certified Kamptal Heiligenstein vineyard terraces – the soil is dominated by Permian sandstone and quartz sand with an intense mineral structure.
The grapes are hand-picked. The must is then macerated for several hours. The naturally settled must is fermented in 2000-liter wooden barrels made of local oak with natural yeast. The wine is aged with yeast for about 6 months.
Serve at 10-12 °C. Ideal accompaniment to light, fresh dishes. Wide range – from seafood and fish to white meat (chicken, veal, pork) and fresh cheese.
