Pale yellow-green in color with silver reflections. A mineral-driven bouquet of vineyard peach, apricots, and blossom honey, with smoky nuances, hints of orange and saffron underneath; a complex and multifaceted aroma profile.Taut and focused on the palate, with yellow tropical fruit, good complexity, and a layered acidity. A firm structure, dark, salt-tinged minerality, vineyard peach on the finish, and a spicy aftertaste. It lingers well, making it a lively companion for food, with great potential for further development.

Peter Moser, Falstaff Wine Guide 2026/2027

Our most important vineyard, and historically the most renowned site in the Langenloiser region, is the Zöbinger Heiligenstein. Beginning in the 1920s, dry-stone terraces were built by hand across parts of the vineyard. Old Riesling vines, propagated from the original autochthonous Heiligenstein plant material, form the backbone of this exceptional wine. The vines have an average age of 45 years, with the oldest reaching up to 90 years.

As the vines mature, their yields naturally decline, producing fewer and smaller bunches while developing an extensive, deep-rooted system. This broad and deeply penetrating root network is able to nourish the limited crop exceptionally well, resulting in wines of remarkable concentration, ripeness, and complexity.

The 2023 vintage
Charm, abundance, structure and depth already in the entry level The year had started rather late for our vines. Sprouting was delayed by cool and dry weather, in April. By coincidence, this happily prevented damage by a cold northern air stream, which heavily affected early flowering fruits like apricots. In Kamptal we received the long sought after rain in mid-April and for 2023 this also meant the end of drought. At first, the green cover was flourishing and later, still in May, the slightly late yet vital sprouting took place. Around the 10th of June, under changeable weather conditions, our vineyards started to blossom, about at...

Maturation

We ferment the must in stainless steel at a temperature of 15-20° Celsius.

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.
