This is classic Heiligenstein, expansive and firm. The flavors ricochet from orange to herbs, from bitter roots to broad stone fruit, everything brought together by the wine’s leesy corn-silk texture. Medium green-yellow. Restrained bouquet offers delicate yellow peach, apple blossom and subtle flinty nuances. A refreshing, harmonious acid backbone highlights crisp green apple and pineapple and fully buffers the tiny dose of residual sugar. Lemon, vineyard peach and flint linger on the finish. - Stephen Tanzer
