Description
About the winemaker:
Weingut Hirsch Kammern Gruner Veltliner 2023 Weingut Hirsch is one of the leading wine producers in Kamptal, Austria. 1878 The Hirsch family took over the homestead, which was built during the Renaissance and is now owned by the fifth generation. As was customary in the past, the Hirsch family engaged in a variety of farming in which wine played a definite role. This remained the case until the late 1970s, when Johannes Hirsch’s father recognized that specialized viticulture really had a bright future in a nature-friendly region like Kamptal. Johannes ’father, Joseph Hirsch, originally took over 2.5 acres of vineyard from his father. And it was not long before he gained more vineyard land. From the beginning, however, he did so revolutionarily, growing grapes in places that no one else wanted to have. Specifically, up on Heiligenstein rather than below, where it is nicely smooth and can be worked easily and efficiently. If you are unsure of the path you have chosen, you cannot allow yourself to be annoyed by other gossip or fear – this belief is like a slogan for the development of the Hirsch estate.
