Ried Heiligenstein Riesling 2021 (Allram)

Cellar for up to 8 years. Serve chilled. The Allram family have been producing sensational white wines in Austria’s prestigious Kamptal region for decades and own some truly exceptional vineyards in the prized Heiligenstein, Gaisberg, and Renner crus. Today the estate is run by Michaela Haas-Allram and her husband Erich who took over from her parents in 1992. The couple strive to produce delicious and elegant wines using the best quality fruit possible, which is why they practice organic and sustainable agriculture across their estate. This elegant Riesling expresses the complexity of their Heiligenstein vineyard which is arguably the Kamptal’s most famous site. The vines are planted on 270 million year old sandstone and volcanic soils which help to add grace and elegance to the finished wine, balancing out the rich fruit flavours. Full-bodied with a powerful structure, this is an intense and opulent Riesling that will respond very well to further cellaring. Enticing hints of white flowers, honey, orchard fruits, pineapple, and zingy citrus dominate on the nose, while the palate offers a mouthwatering freshness balanced by a rich and creamy texture. Ideal to serve alongside dishes like roast chicken, spicy Asian curries, or a selection of aged cheeses.
