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.

The Franz Hirtzberger Rotes Tor Smaragd 2022 is a Grüner Veltliner of exceptional depth and elegance. The Franz Hirtzberger winery is among the Wachau's most outstanding producers and cultivates one of the region's most mineral-rich vineyards, the Rotes Tor site. The steep terraces with their flint-rich soil lend this wine its unmistakable character – Austrian Wines in their purest form.
As a Smaragd wine, the Franz Hirtzberger Rotes Tor 2022 embodies the highest quality level of the Wachau: powerful, complex, and with impressive aging potential. The grapes are harvested late and vinified with the utmost care to perfectly capture the characteristic minerality and vibrancy of the vineyard site. It is traditionally aged in large wooden barrels, allowing the fruit to retain its clarity.
The nose reveals a captivating blend of green herbs, flint, and delicate citrus notes. On the palate, a crystalline structure unfolds with piquant spice, supported by precise acidity and a saline minerality that makes the wine seem endless. The finish is long, cool, and accompanied by a subtle stone fruit note.
At Wine In Time, you'll receive this exceptional White Wine delivered quickly and reliably to Vienna. We guarantee expert storage and express shipping to ensure the wine arrives in perfect condition.
Serve the Rotes Tor slightly chilled at 10–12°C with shellfish, crab, or lobster. It is also an elegant accompaniment to pan-fried fish with a herb crust or delicate asparagus.
