Country: Austria / Steinterrassen Federspiel
Variety: Riesling Wachau
Winery: Franz Hirtzberger /
A beautifully elegant, focused wine, full of racy, steely fruit, managing to combine fullness with lightness and an intensely dry aftertaste. Hirtzberger’s 29-acre vineyard is in the western Wachau village of Spitz, where the Rieslings are aged in large acacia wood barrels.
