About the manufacturer
Franz Hirtzberger
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.

Hochrain
The Franz Hirtzberger Hochrain Smaragd 2019 is among the most expressive Rieslings from the Wachau and embodies the signature style of one of Austria's most renowned wineries. Franz Hirtzberger cultivates first-class vineyards in Spitz with steep terraces that impart to the Riesling the mineral depth for which Austrian Wines are appreciated worldwide. The Hochrain vineyard lies on barren, stony soils, which give the wine its characteristic flinty quality.
The Franz Hirtzberger Hochrain 2019 matures slowly and carefully in the cellar as a Smaragd – the highest quality level in the Wachau. Selective hand-harvesting, gentle pressing, and aging in large wooden barrels preserve the fruit's clarity and allow the mineral structure to shine through unadulterated. The result is a wine of remarkable precision and aging potential.
On the nose, a captivating interplay of green apples, citrus peel, and delicate herbal notes unfolds, underpinned by the typical flinty aroma. On the palate, the Hochrain is taut and mineral, with vibrant acidity and a salty, stony texture that lingers long. The finish is clean, fresh, and impressively long – a Riesling that comes home with you and delights you with its complexity.
At Wine In Time in Vienna, you can conveniently order this exceptional Wachau Riesling online and receive it quickly thanks to express delivery. Also discover our selection of White Wines, featuring other rare Wines from Austria and around the world.
Serve the Franz Hirtzberger Hochrain 2019 at 10–12 °C with shellfish, crab, lobster, or fried fish. A wine that takes its time – and gives you unforgettable moments of pleasure.
