      About
      The Franz Hirtzberger Riesling "Setzberg" Smaragd 2021 is a dry, high-quality white wine crafted from 100% Riesling grapes. It hails from the Wachau region in Austria, renowned for its steep terraces and ideal conditions for Riesling production. This wine is categorized under the "Smaragd" designation, Wachau's top classification, indicating a rich, full-bodied profile with exceptional ripeness.
      Tasting notes

      On the palate, the wine is vibrant and complex, featuring concentrated flavors of ripe stone fruits like apricot and peach, with a touch of citrus and minerality. Aromatic notes of white flowers and subtle spice add depth, complemented by a well-structured acidity that provides a refreshing balance. The long finish is elegant and slightly saline, characteristic of Wachau’s terroir.

      Pairing

      This Riesling pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, such as grilled shrimp or scallops, and complements rich dishes like creamy poultry or pork tenderloin, enhancing their flavors without overwhelming. Its acidity also balances well with mildly spiced Asian cuisine.

      This is the story of how one of the most exciting wine regions in Austria came into being. For millions of years, the Danube River has carved its serpentine path through solid soils, and today the rocky terraces provide places for growing grapes. Two grape varieties are mainly cultivated in this region: Riesling and Grüner Veltliner.
