2022 Weingut Hirsch "Ried Zöbinger Heiligenstein" Riesling, Kamptal, Austria
Wonderful nose of bergamot and Asian pear with a whiff of mint. Super-silky and super-fine on the medium-bodied palate, this is a masterpiece of restrained ripeness. Then comes the incredible wet stone minerality at the extremely long, refined finish.
There are 9 units left in stock.
