Our older vintages
Zöbinger Heiligenstein
Riesling
2017
Kamptal DAC, Erste Lage ÖTW


Initially somewhat restrained, but opens quickly while remaining transparent and delicate with candied lemon peel, brioche and even panettone emanating from the glass. Cool and finely delineated, classy and crystal clear. Fleur de sel and herbal spice with sage and thyme setting the tone. Expressive and promising, abundant elegance in every phase – will benefit from further bottle maturation.
The Bründlmayer family owns 12 hectares right in the centre of the Zöbinger Heiligenstein. It's not only the oldest but probably also the most interesting on our estate: the soil consists of approximately 270 Mio years old Perm desert sandstone.

Site and climate
Ried Heiligenstein
The terraced south and southwest facing slope of Zöbinger Heiligenstein has a unique geological history that has been preserved in this particular area.
Maturation
We ferment the must in stainless steel at a temperature of 15-20° Celsius. After fermentation the wine was partly racked into big wooden casks to mature for a short period on the fine yeast.
Food pairing recommendation
All types of seafood, grilled fish, fried chicken or pork a good alternative to red wine in combination with roast duck; matches with all various elegant Asian dishes.
