WINE DESCRIPTION
Franz Hirtzberger Rotes Tor - Grüner Veltliner Federspiel is a premium white wine produced by Franz Hirtzberger, a renowned winemaker from Austria's Wachau region. The wine is made from Grüner Veltliner grapes grown in the Rotes Tor vineyard, which is known for its steep terraces and rocky soils that impart unique mineral flavors to the wine. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's freshness and fruitiness. The resulting wine is a classic example of Grüner Veltliner, with a crisp acidity, vibrant citrus and stone fruit flavors, and a long, mineral finish. It is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and light dishes.
