The Heiligenstein with its reddish, decomposed dessert sandstone and volcanic components is one of Austria's best Riesling sites. The flora and fauna between the vines will otherwise only be encountered in far more southerly regions. The Heiligenstein produces Rieslings with plenty of extracts and scents.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green | |
Nose | Aromas of ripe lemons, jasmine, and white flowers |
Palate | Cool notes, extreme expression of vineyard peaches; the elegant fruity sweetness explodes on the palate, a characterful Riesling, firm, tight-knit with immense pressure, very concentrated; the minerality is clearly transported, salty aftertaste, a passionate saint's stone. Excellent and appetizing food accompaniment. |
