(Hirsch Grüner Veltliner Heiligenstein) ($29.00) I’m putting “Heiligenstein” in quotes because this is actually a Grosslage rather than the single-site vineyard you know from other growers. It’s all very theological, and I understand these things, and it’s still a murky mess. Hannes is being asked (by other growers and friends) whether he might identify the contributing vineyards to this cuvée. One of them is Renner, made famous by Gobelsburg, and a 1er Lage. Hannes has thus far demurred, as he wants above all to have a simple offering – three GrüVes, three Rieslings. I also like simplicity, but I’ll stand with those who want to see great vineyards acknowledged. This ’09 is very fine. Euphoric aromas of lentil, sorrel, vetiver, iris and verbena, lead to a less obtrusively complex palate, more down-the-middle; vanilla, tonka bean; finishes elemental and dry. The neckline plunges yet the lady herself is shy.

Flowers and honey on the nose. At the mouth apricot and orange tree flowers. Velvety and elegant.

At first, not so interesting, possibly because I served it too cold. With time, however, it opened up nicely to show good varietal character (green pea/lentil) in a taut, fresh package. Really good with applewood-smoked salmon and grilled zucchini.
