Hirsch, Ried Gaisberg 1 OTW Kamptal DAC Riesling, 2018
The Gaisberg is a steep, southwest-facing slope of siliceous brown earth over weathered mica schist in the cool Kamptal, and it makes Riesling of laser focus and stony intensity. Johannes Hirsch farms it biodynamically, letting the site speak in a dry, mineral register that has nothing to do with the sweeter German style. This 2018 has settled into its stride, its fruit softening toward roundness while the vineyard's tension holds firm underneath. It's a Gaisberg Riesling drinking beautifully right now, with plenty left in the tank.
