Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine a score of 92. Reviewer Stephan Reinhardt described the wine as “very intense but fresh and pure on the nose,” with “dried stone fruit aromas.” He further praised its “concentrated, very elegant and long” palate, noting a unique style that blends “elegance with baroque” and finishes “linear and lean like a Gothic cathedral.” Reinhardt also highlighted its “salty and tensioned” characteristics, concluding his review with the remark, “Impressive!” This glowing review underscores the wine’s complex and refined nature.

Wine & Spirits gave the 2009 Ludwig Hiedler Riesling Heiligenstein a score of 91. The review praised the wine’s “peach and tangerine fruit flavors” which demonstrate a “creamy ripeness and bold depth of flavor.” The reviewer noted that while the fruit is prominent “at the moment,” the wine possesses an “underlying structure” that feels “tense and racy.” They also pointed out the complex minerality that should become more pronounced with time in the cellar.

Overall, this Riesling presents a harmonious blend of fruit and minerality, with both reviewers agreeing on its potential for aging and further development. The wine's intense nose, long and elegant palate, and complex structure make it a noteworthy choice for those seeking a well-balanced and sophisticated Riesling from Austria’s Kamptal region.
