Food pairing recommendation
A perfect companion to many starters such as smoked trout, ham, cold vegetables, sea food, tapas, or fresh marinated goat cheese with herbs; also very good with fish barbecue, or roasted chicken, Asian dishes if not too hot such as Dim Sum, or Wok, fine with ‘Vegan Cuisine’.
Ried Heiligenstein Alte Reben
Riesling
2021
1ÖTW Erste Lage Kamptal DAC

Pure, juvenile, restrained yet intense first impression, a multifaceted bouquet featuring fresh citrus peel, fresh stone (white peaches) and pome fruit, a hint of white flowers, hay, green tealeaf and yeasty spice; very fresh and very dry before the palate reveals the fruit tones mentioned before; this wine is vigorous though fine and precise, densely structured and perfectly balanced not by residual sugar but by its sugar free extract, this Riesling is no power pack nor a palate pleaser but a natural authority as it remains full of firm tension until the final marked by again hints of bright fruit, spice and mineral almost salty impressions: an outstanding vintage from the heart of the Heiligenstein, a wine with an incredible lifespan ahead.

Food pairing recommendation
An excellent food companion with grilled fish, roast or fried chicken, salted or smoked meats (but without sauerkraut!), Wiener schnitzel, or as an alternative to red wine with roast duck or goose. It’s also ideally suited to many hearty exotic dishes . After some years of maturing, it can be recommended for fish with a variety of sauces - such as beurre blanc or Riesling cream sauce.
Ried Steinmassl
Riesling
2017
1ÖTW Erste Lage Kamptal DAC

The Steinmassel, formerly understandably categorized as Reserve, offers a brilliant opening act: an elegantly drawn blend of gooseberry and red peach, lively and already multi-layered with a robust base note that continues on the palate with crystal clear, pale fruit nuances. Exhilarating, yet also simultaneously deep; impressive substance pairs with a fine, racy play of acid. Long finish and plenty of potential for further development. Unquestionably the best Steinmassel ever.
Viktor Siegl
Ultra good drinking here, simple and vital done well, juicy green apple flavours, cut of citrusy acidity. It’s fragrant and fun, bright and fresh, good length, tightly wound, riesling DNA writ large. No brainer for good times.

All types of starters, seafood, marinated, smoked or grilled fish, fried chicken or Schnitzel; white meats, a good alternative to red wine in combination with roast fat duck; matches with all sorts of Pan Asian cuisine.
