White dry
Tasted as a sample in late June 2017, the 2016 Riesling Zöbinger Heiligenstein 1ÖTW offers a clear, fresh, lovely, pure, precise and aromatic bouquet of bright ripe fruits (like pears!) intermixed with the vital and flinty minerality of the Heiligenstein terroir. The wine is vital and elegant on the palate, intense, long and aromatic but also fresh and vibrant like a jive. The finish is salty and piquant and combines ripeness and fruit intensity with finesse and freshness.
