Hirsch Riesling Heiligenstein 2007

The aroma is so dripping with sex and voodoo it could almost be Hiedler. It’s certainly a site archetype, crammed with roasted beets and incense. And the palate is out of control! Crazy sorcery of smoke and spice, physio-sweet yet with a lunge toward stone and primordial terroir below an avalanche of fruit, key-lime, orchid and narcissus; astonishing interplay of buoyancy and density; the finish peals like an enormous bell, an echo-chamber of fruit and flowers and “soft” mineral—Riesling does not improve on this: WINE does not improve on this. -Terry Theise Estate Selection

Equally ripe and youthful nose, dicreet creaminess, supple fruit, warm, elegant citrus aromas mingling with appealing herb notes; quite juicy middle-weight Veltliner with pleasant flavors of apple and quince, disceetly spicy, nice punch, medium length, well-balanced.
- notes from Weingut Hirsch

Food Pairings

Pork, ham, scallops. Salmon or tuna most anyway even tartare. Asian food. An excellent wine with food.
