Ried Heiligenstein:
The terraced south and southwest facing slope has a unique geological history that has been preserved in this particular area. The outcropping bedrock consists of a reddish-brown sandstone with a high feldspar content, coarse conglomerates, and minor siltstone. These sediments formed approximately 250–280 million years ago under arid conditions, in lakes, ponds, and ephemeral rivers. The rocks contain fossilized plants and gravels with clasts of volcanic rhyolites. Loess is only preserved in a few locations, within shallow depressions.

"The 2022 Riesling Heiligenstein was harvested on the four lower terraces of the slope, whole-bunch pressed and fermented in stainless steel only. This rises from the glass with immense purity and perfume of cypress and bergamot peel. The palate continues in this scented fashion but adds fluidity and rounded, peachy fruit to the mid-palate. It is on the finish that zestiness appears, making this so serene, tangy and absolutely taut on the finish. (Bone-dry)"

"Hirsch's 2022 Riesling Ried Heiligenstein 1–TW opens with a very clear, deep and elegant nose and brilliant fruit elegance and fine apricot notes. It is fine on the palate, still quite yeasty and, therefore, perhaps less clear and stimulating than on the nose. However, the wine shows a dense, complex texture and a savory finish. Give it time! 13% stated alcohol. Screw cap."
