2023 Franz Hirtzberger, Wachau, Spitzer Donaugarten Gruner Veltliner Steinfeder

The 2023 Spitzer Donaugarten Grüner Veltliner Steinfeder from Franz Hirtzberger is a pristine, featherweight expression of the Wachau, showcasing the estate’s hallmark purity at its most refreshing. Sourced from fruit grown on gravelly, river-influenced soils in Spitzer Donaugarten, this Steinfeder bottling delivers bright citrus, white blossoms, and crisp green apple wrapped in a lithe, stony frame. At just over 11% alcohol, it is vibrant, aromatic, and wonderfully drinkable, with the clarity and finesse that define Hirtzberger’s style. A pitch-perfect aperitif Grüner and an ideal pairing for lighter dishes or the classic schnitzel.
