Johannes Hirsch works exclusively with Grüner Veltliner and Riesling from the Kamptal, farming biodynamically since the early 2000s. This 2016 Gaisberg Riesling—now a decade old—comes from the renowned Gaisberg site in Zöbing, with its siliceous brown earth and grit-rich soils that create distinctive minerality. The ÖTW (Austrian Traditional Wine) classification reflects Hirsch's commitment to authentic terroir expression. At 10 years, this wine shows developed complexity: honeyed notes emerging beneath the mineral structure, with bright acidity still intact. Ready to drink now or hold another 5+ years as secondary flavors deepen. Hirsch's screw-cap closure (pioneered for top wines in 2003) has preserved the wine beautifully.
