Tasting Notes

Colour

Light yellow-green, silver reflections. 

Nose

Expressing a floral yet peppery taste, the wine also boasts a citrus-rich nose of limes and lemons. The grapes are grown in different vineyard plots around the estate, then blended together to showcase the best features of each site. 

Palate 

A bright wine with a yellow and green palate, this wine displays a lovely minerality alongside flavours of white peach, citrus and fine herbs.

Producer

Franz Hirtzberger is known for richer styles, but his brother Mathias Hirtzberger started in 2014 with a more balanced style. The Federspiel style of GV makes an excellent aperitif as it has some weight, but it’s not overly broad-shouldered – it’s limited to 12.5% abv.

Wachau is the most westerly region and its wines' style broadly depends on the vintage. It has a number of different soils but the vines tend to grow along the Danube River Valley.
