The 2022 Franz Hirtzberger Grüner Veltliner Spitz Steinfeder is a fresh and elegant Grüner Veltliner from Austria's Wachau region. Produced by the renowned Franz Hirtzberger estate, it showcases the lighter Steinfeder style, offering vibrant aromas of green apple, pear, citrus and white pepper, complemented by subtle floral and mineral notes.
On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing, with lively acidity supporting flavours of lemon, orchard fruit and delicate stone fruit. The texture is light and precise, leading to a clean, dry finish with excellent freshness and balance.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic introduction to Wachau Grüner Veltliner, offering purity, freshness and easy-drinking appeal. Best enjoyed young over the next 2–4 years while its vibrant fruit character is at its peak. Pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, schnitzel, light salads, grilled vegetables and roast chicken.
