Hirsch 'Hirschvergnugen' Gruner Veltliner 2023
- TASTING NOTE: "The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Hirschvergnügen is harvested from some ancient vines in lesser-known but historic sites. Yeast, soil, pepper, crushed yarrow and fern all color the vivid pear fruit on the nose. The palate falls into a spicy-fruity, slender groove with a full flavor. (Bone-dry) (Drink between 2024-2030)." 91 Points - Anne Krebiehl MW, Vinous
- ABOUT THE WINE: As the name suggests, the Hirsch (meaning deer in English) is an easy drinking style of Grüner Veltliner produced from vines that grow on loess soils. Despite its nimble body, it impresses with its depth, juicy fruit and white pepper spice. Weingut Hirsch
-
ABOUT THE PRODUCER: For decades now, Josef and Johannes Hirsch have operated the estate according to a personal creed: To work together with nature, and not against. We have been using compost as a natural fertiliser since 1978. This compost comes from right in our own neighbourhood, from long-time friend and comrade Robert Paget. Paget’s goats and buffaloes not only provide the cheese factory with outstanding milk, but also ‘produce’ splendid fertiliser for the Hirsch vineyards. All of our vineyards today are cultivated biodynamically. Greater vine density in planting, meticulous management of the foliage canopy and stringent crop reduction are essential aspects of conscientious vineyard care. Weigut Hirsch
