Stockist/Retailer: Corking Wines

(2016) A fairly standard take on Prosecco this, definitely feeling off-dry on the palate, but the easy-drinking pleasures of its icing sugar and lemon flavours make for perfect time sipping with some Chinese food.

(2012) The name Heiligenstein is derived from a medieval name, 'Hellenstein', meaning "hot as hell," with reference to the sunshine on the south-facing slopes. Beautifully clear, limpid nose of fragrant apple skins and blossom, a touch of lime and a delicate spiciness. On the palate this has such a juicy, freshly-squeezed lemon and lime clarity, and although it is tight and lean, there's lovely ripeness too. Long and elegantly framed by a mineral and citrus acidity, this is delicious, grown-up stuff.

(2012) There's a slightly cheesy note on the nose here that just muddies the freshness and herby mineral character of the wine. On the palate it is a lot clearer, and more decisively vibrant. The fruit is very dry, and the cool, underripe apple and pithy lemon character of fruit and acidity means this would probably fare better when matched to fish or perhaps a chicken schnitzel or other white meat dish.
