2024 Franz Hirtzberger, Wachau, Spitzer Donaugarten Gruner Veltliner Steinfeder

Weingut Franz Hirtzberger is a multi-generational estate located in the village of Spitz, where the family has been tending vines on a historic farm since the 13th century. This wine is made from grapes grown in the Donaugarten vineyard, a site situated on the valley floor with floodplain soils that provide consistent nutrient and water access. In the glass, it presents as a light, lively wine with clear notes of green apple, pear, and a distinct touch of white pepper. The 2024 vintage, defined by extreme weather shifts and a cooling autumn, resulted in high-quality fruit that maintains a balanced, refreshing acidity. This bottling is ready to enjoy tonight, offering a precise and elegant expression of its origin that is ideal for those seeking a bright, immediate drinking experience.
