Description
One of the best vineyards in Austria, the Singerriedel vineyard is located directly behind the winery. The Hirtzberger family knows perfectly how to bring out the subtleties of this site. On the palate, the Riesling Singerriedel always shows nuances of ripe orange fruit, paired with the finest yellow stone fruit, and ingenious acidity structure. A wine with great ageing potential.

About Austrian Wine
Austria is a country with over 4000 years of wine making history, however, it unfortunately doesn’t seem to enjoy the status and popularity that the high quality of it’s wines deserve. Decades later, the country is still feeling the effects of a scandal in 1985 that destroyed its credibility at the time.
Grüner Veltliner is the most important wine made in Austria, distinguished by its lightly fruity, noticeable spice and characteristic white pepper notes. This variety comprises roughly a third of all plantings. In terms of volume, Riesling plays a much smaller role than in Germany, but is responsible for some of the most appreciated dry white wines made in the country.
In red varietals, Austrian native varieties are dominant and include the tart and peppery Zweigelt, spicy and dense Blaufränkisch and juicy Saint Laurent.
