“Elegant bouquet with mellow fruit aromas, fragrant, reminiscent of meadow blossoms and apricots, a touch of tropical fruit, some white bread, a hint of herbal spiciness; vibrant and crunchy with lots of citrus fruit, crisp and lively, fairly slender, firm and nicely dry finish of medium length.” [Peter Schleimer]

Description

This exceptional dry Riesling comes from the Premier Cru vineyard Gaisberg. The site’s exquisite brown soil is weathered mica schist, which is perfect for growing mineral-driven Rieslings. Situated near the village of Strass, the grapes for this wine are grown on terraces and come from vines that are forty years old on average. Hirsch is certifed biodynamic and utilizes minimal intervention in the cellar including whole cluster press, ambient yeast fermentation in steel and large neutral oak barrels, and extended lees contact. The estate holds their wines back from release for an extra year or two to allow the elements to come into focus, and while this is terrific now, it will certainly continue to evolve for another decade

Accolades

Vinous: 92 points

"Peach, orange, lime, oregano, peony, rowan and carnation combine for a pungent and (given that it’s Gaisberg we’re talking about) unexpectedly floral nose. The midpalate is glossy and richly fruited yet delightfully buoyant and brightly juicy, with the effusive array of floral elements persisting as inner-mouth perfume. Zesty citrus peel and piquant apricot kernel lend stimulating counterpoint to an impressively sustained finish suffused with mouthwatering salinity."
