"Heiligenstein" is the best known and most traditional Riesling vineyard in Lower Austria's Kamptal and was the first in the region to be mentioned by name and recorded on maps. Austrian traditional wineries classify it as "Prime Site".

This wine is aged for 10 months on the lees in 600 liter wooden barrels and another 10 months on the fine lees in large wooden barrels before being bottled unfiltered. It has a rich, golden yellow color, aromas of candied fruit, dried apricots and nectarines. This is a wine with an extremely rich body and structure, very tasty, with balanced acidity, which is an excellent accompaniment to spicy dishes and curry recipes.

Ungehheuer GG in Forst is one of the most important Riesling vineyards in Germany. In 1869, Ungeheuer was served at the opening of the Suez Canal and already had admirers such as Goethe and Otto von Bismarck.

Sandstone, limestone and basalt are found in the soil on the slope above Forst. Ungeheuer GG is intense and mineral with a refined and elegant nose. Aromas such as grass, apricot, orange peel, melon and hints of vanilla come to your nose after some time in the glass. In the mouth it is full and creamy. Its acidity, minerality, metallicity and saltiness are distinct. This wine is really tasty and balanced. Another plus is the possibility of aging, beyond ten years. Pair it with hearty dishes, such as baked pork, crabs and grilled tuna.
