Steinfeder is the lightest classification in the Wachau — early-picked, low in alcohol (max 11.5%), and meant to be drunk young and joyfully. From Franz Hirtzberger, one of the Wachau's most coveted addresses, it's a chance to taste the precision and minerality the estate is famous for at its most playful. The 2024 comes from Spitz, the cool Danube-side village where Hirtzberger has long been the benchmark, and shows everything we want from a great Steinfeder: light-footed, juicy, fragrant with yellow apple, mandarin zest, and a touch of blossom honey, with the energy of a perfect summer afternoon. An elegant introduction to one of Austria's defining estates.

"The 2024 Grüner Veltliner Spitz Steinfeder, picked on October 18 and 28, comes from sites on the plain in Spitz and Schwallenbach. Despite the Steinfeder designation, it speaks of ripeness and supple yeast. The body is lithe, taut and beautifully snappy, with just an edge of zestiness." —Anne Krebiehl, MW

More about Franz Hirtzberger

Franz Hirtzberger and F.X. Pichler are the two greatest producers of the Wachau and arguably of dry white wines in Austria. Located in the tiny village of Spitz, surrounded by mountains and the Danube, Hirtzberger makes Riesling that tastes like pure minerality and precision. His terraced vineyard names—Hochrain, Singerriedel, Steinporz—are synonymous with the greatest wines of the region.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Light starters and the kind of meal you'd serve outdoors: schnitzel, white asparagus, trout, sushi, summer salads, prosciutto and melon, or a wedge of soft cheese.

Tasting Profile

Yellow apple, mandarin zest, ripe mango, and blossom honey lifted by signature Wachau minerality. Light-footed and finesse-driven — a Grüner built for joy rather than gravitas, but with Hirtzberger precision.
