WINE MAKING PROCESS
Weingut Hirsch employs organic and biodynamic farming practices in the Kamptal region. The 2022 vintage experienced variable weather, leading to lower yields but resulting in grapes with notable spiciness and balance. Winemaking typically involves avoiding malolactic fermentation to preserve freshness. Wines are aged on lees until late spring, followed by racking, with an emphasis on bottle maturation. The estate's approach is rooted in respecting the terroir and allowing the indigenous grape varieties, primarily Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, to express their character.
