WINE DESCRIPTION
Franz Hirtzberger Singerriedel - Riesling Smaragd is a premium white wine produced by Franz Hirtzberger, a renowned winemaker from Austria's Wachau region. The wine is made from Riesling grapes grown in the Singerriedel 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 best grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's natural aromas and flavors. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of Riesling, with notes of citrus, peach, and honey, balanced by a crisp acidity and a long, mineral finish. It is a perfect match for seafood, spicy dishes, and creamy cheeses.
