About this product
Schloss Gobelsburg's Heiligenstein Riesling is one of Austria's most compelling wines: from the 350-million year old volcanic Heiligenstein site — a unique outcrop of Riedelite (a rare volcanic sandstone) within Kamptal's predominantly loess and limestone geology. The distinctive terroir produces Riesling of extraordinary spice, mineral complexity, and aging potential: white peach, apricot, volcanic mineral smoke, Asian spice, and white flower. One of Austria's most distinctive Erste Lage expressions — develops 10-20 years.

Schloss Gobelsburg Heiligenstein's volcanic mineral and Asian spice character achieves a sophisticated pairing with pike-perch — the Danube fish's delicate flesh bridges the wine's mineral complexity while saffron amplifies the Riesling's aromatic depth. Wild herbs echo the wine's herbal mineral dimension; the risotto's starch bridges wine and fish. A pairing that connects the Heiligenstein's geological uniqueness with Austria's Danube river fish tradition.

complement
Gobelsburg Heiligenstein's exotic spice character and volcanic mineral depth creates an unexpected but compelling match with Thai basil prawns — the wine's Asian spice dimension bridges the Thai basil's aromatic character; lime leaf echoes the Riesling's citrus precision; the prawn's natural sweetness amplifies the wine's stone fruit. A pairing that reveals the Heiligenstein's unique ability to bridge Austrian and Southeast Asian cuisine.
