Franz Hirtzberger – The Story
Franz Hirtzberger is one of the most renowned wineries in the Wachau, that legendary wine region on the Danube world-famous for its mineral-driven, precise White Wines. For generations, the estate has cultivated terraces with vines, some over 50 years old, in prime locations such as Honivogl, Steinporz, and Singerriedel – names you'll find on many of their bottles.
What distinguishes Hirtzberger is its unmistakable style: Grüner Veltliner and Riesling of extreme elegance and vibrancy, directly reflecting the slate, gneiss, and loess of their origin. The Wines are not opulent, but rather taut and dynamic – they show you what great Austrian White Wine can be. The winery works with a strong sense of tradition, respects the nature of its vineyards, and lets the grapes speak for themselves, rather than over-processing them.
With 27 products in our range, you have the opportunity to discover the full spectrum of this classic wine – from powerful to delicate, mineral interpretations. At Wine In Time, you'll find Hirtzberger Wines that will transport you directly to the steep slopes of the Wachau.
