Jurtschitsch, Riesling Heiligenstein 1st Lage, 2023 bdycount091824 The site is windswept andThe Zbinger Heiligenstein is one of the great Riesling hills of the world, and its soil is genuinely strange: a reddish, 270 million year old desert sandstone shot through with volcanic conglomerate, laid down in the Permian era and now somehow sitting at the surface. Vines almost never get to grow on rock this ancient, and you can taste the difference this dry Riesling has a smoky, mineral intensity that only Heiligenstein delivers. Jurtschitsch
