| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.5 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by chcook on 8/6/2022 & rated 92 points: UNP. Color is straw. Nose has limes some green spice and maybe marzipan? Swishing shows acidity that is totally creamy and balances the rich fruit. It also propels the medium length very pleasing finish. Sipping borders on ecstasy. There is so much pleasing fruit and an amazing mouth feel that makes this so very easy to drink. I worry sometimes about screw caps in riesling but no reason to worry here. Best bottle of Riesling that I have had in some time. Special. (392 views) | | | Tasted by Oeno_PHIL on 5/1/2020 & rated 92 points: Beau nez de riesling, pétrole, pierres ŕ fusil, zeste de citron intense. En bouche, la texture est grasse, c'est rond, riche, complexe. On est surtout sur les agrumes. L'acidité est tranchante, la finale longue. Superbe ! (723 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 7/20/2016: Medium yellow. Ripe stone fruit and some sulfur. Quite dense, some residual sugar, lower acidity. After the Nigl and Brundlmayer from a brighter vintage, this seemed plodding and heavy.

Hirsch Vineyards, Kamptal Austria
Regarded as one of the most dynamic and engaging young winemakers in Austria, Johannes Hirsch is well placed to further the evolution of Austrian wine. With access to some of the finest vineyards in the Kamptal region, a dedicated approach to viticulture, and incredible attention to detail, innovative and adventurous spirit, making this one of the most exciting estates in Austria. Although they are located in a relatively small viticultural area, the vineyards Johannes works with are incredibly diverse. From the Lamm vineyard (south-facing slopes with soil composed of löss and loam), to the Heiligenstein vineyard (a bowl-shaped vineyard with southern exposure and conglomerate soils of desert sandstone embedded with decomposed volcanic and carbonized vegetation), to the Gaisberg vineyard (soils of fertile brown earth and crystalline rock), use of biodynamic practices allows him to get the best of his raw materials. In the cellars a fairly traditional approach is maintained. Fermentations are achieved through ambient yeasts, and wines are kept separate with very little blending, the vineyard is the most important expression. Johannes was a very early adopter of stelvin closures in the country, and his confidence has been validated by a recent study that confirms not only the quality of the seal but also the aging abilities. A respect for nature is coupled with an intricate knowledge of bio-dynamic practices.Riesling Varietal character (Appellation America) | A short history of Riesling (Uncork) | Riesling (wikipedia)Reserve The Wine News | Wine Country This Week | Wine Lover's PageGaisbergIn Kamptal: On weinlagen-info

Lower Austria Wine Region
Lower Austria isn't "southern" Austria, but rather northeastern. It derives its name from its downriver location on the Danube River, which flows from west to east.Kamptal The Kamptal Region - Introduction (Winemonger.com)
