Wine Advocate
Reviewed May 2024The 2021 Ried Heiligenstein 1ÖTW shows a clear, intense and spicy nose of concentrated Riesling and apricot fruit. Rich and intense but also delicate and elegant on the palate, this is a complex yet sensual, persistently salty and aromatic Heiligenstein with plenty of substance and impressive length. 13.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at Schloss Grafenegg, September 2023.(SR)

Vinous
The 2021 Riesling Ried Heiligenstein was harvested on Permian sandstone. A gentle creaminess on the nose dissipates to reveal savory herbs and crushed yarrow. The palate comes in with juiciness, with rounded stone fruit framed by zesty ripeness that makes the mouth water. This fullness of fruit, with deep, spicy concentration, seeps even deeper into creaminess and stone. A powerful but understated wine of serene flow, of quiet depth, this has undoubted power, with a long, lemony flavor. (Bone-dry)(AK)

James Suckling
Very striking nose of mirabelle and wild herbs. Quite some richness and creaminess (from long sur lie maturation) for the Heiligenstein vineyard site, but it is married to an elegant acidity and delicate spice. Very long herb and floral honey finish that’s simultaneously ripe, dark and cool. Still a bit shy. Sustainable. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

Wine Enthusiast
A very bright, classical style of Riesling from Lower Austria, this displays a range of aromas and flavors, with lime, coriander, green-almond, yellow-apple, fennel-seed and sea-salt notes racing along, fueled by vivid acidity. The finish shows definition and depth. (AZ)
Notes
98 points Fallstaff Magazine: "Bright golden yellow, green reflections. A complex bouquet with subtle herbal notes, white stone fruit, delicate hints of honey, fig jelly, grapefruit and orange zest. Good complexity on the palate, tightly meshed, fresh acidity, mineral with a touch of lemon, hints of vine peach on the salty finish. A multi-layered food wine, very approachable already, but with definite ageing potential.-Peter Moser"(03/2023)
