Hirsch Riesling Ried Gaisberg Kamptal 2018

From the rolling hills of the Kamptal comes a Riesling that is as precise as it is expressive. Johannes Hirsch is a pioneer of biodynamic viticulture in Austria, and his dedication to the land is palpable in every glass. The Gaisberg vineyard, with its weathered mica schist soils, produces a wine that is lean, chiseled, and unapologetically dry.

On the nose, you’ll find a striking bouquet of white peaches, bergamot, and orange blossom, all underscored by a deep, stony minerality. The 2018 vintage, characterized by a warm growing season, brings a generous weight to the palate without sacrificing the wine’s signature tension. Expect flavors of yellow plum and nectarine balanced by a zesty, citrus-driven acidity that leads into a persistent, saline finish.
