Bründlmayer Zöbinger Heiligenstein Riesling Alte Reben

Kamptal, Austria
Austria's most iconic single-vineyard Riesling, from old vines on the Heiligenstein — a volcanic outcrop of Permian red sandstone above Zöbing. The wine is dry, mineral, and almost impossibly complex, with white citrus, green apple, volcanic stone, white pepper, and floral notes. Aged in large neutral oak, it gains extraordinary mineral depth and longevity. Benchmark Austrian Riesling.
complement
Mineral Riesling and freshwater shellfish are a natural pairing in the Danube wine regions. The wine's volcanic tension and citrus precision elevate delicate crayfish.

complement
White asparagus season in Austria is Heiligenstein season. The wine's green notes, pepper spice, and acidity are perfect foils for asparagus and egg-based sauce.

complement
The wine's mineral acidity cuts through the richness of sweetbreads. Lemon and caper echo its citrus and saline notes, producing a classical Austrian match.
