2022 Grüner Veltliner Rotes Tor, Smaragd, Franz Hirtzberger, Wachau

2022 Grüner Veltliner Rotes Tor, Smaragd, Franz Hirtzberger, Wachau

This is a spectacular Grüner sourced from gneiss, schist and brown soils in the Hirtzberger family’s southwestern corner of the Wachau. The vineyards are set on precipitously steep terraces above the Danube, and the process of hand-farming the land is extremely labour-intensive. The 2022 iteration of the Rotes Tor Grüner Veltliner is rich and textured, brimming with yellow apple notes, and balanced with a spine of vibrant acidity. This is always one of Franz Hirtzberger’s most impressive wines, and it stands out in 2022.
