Red berries and ripe cherries combine to create a unique bouquet

Seriously grippy finish

Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled barrels

2024 Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Rotes Tor Franz Hirtzberger Stellenbosch Red berries and ripe cherriesSuckling 94, Very juicy mango and pineapple character with a touch of chutney spices on the medium to full bodied palate make this a crowd pleaser. Silky and elegant, with a certain lightness of touch that makes it glide over your palate in the long, moderately dry finish. Picked between November 8 and 16. Drink or hold.
