Weingut Hirsch
Riesling, Austria 2002
75cl Bottle €27.08 (RRP €29.99)
The winery - housed in a magnificent 16th century baroque edifice that originally belonged to a monastery - was taken over by the Hirsch family in 1878 and is now run by Josef Hirsch and his son Johannes.

Weingut Markowitsch
Zweigelt 80 % Pinot Noir 20 %, Austria 2005
75cl Bottle €14.92 (RRP €16.99)
There is something of the swashbuckling about Gerhard Markowitsch. As one of the leading young shooting stars of the Austrian wine scene, he conveys a certain restlessness which perhaps is characteristic of those who achieve so much. An all rounder, he has turned his hand to making extraordinary wines from grape varieties that were not previously grown in this region. Consequently the portfolio of wines produced in a variety of styles is a mixture of the Internationally renowned and the best of Austria. These are vinified in his new state of the art cellar and aged in the impressive cathedral like barrique cellar where the wines are probably quietly contemplating a great future.... more details |

Weingut Hirsch Lamm Grüner Veltliner
Weingut Hirsch
Gruner Veltliner, Austria 2002
75cl Bottle €27.08 (RRP €29.99)
On the loess soils of the Lamm and the Kammern section of the Heiligenstein, Grüner Veltliner develops its typical spicyness and supple abundance. Spicy with creamy fruit, profound and concentrated. Great ageing potential. The Heiligenstein (Hell Rock) profits fully from the distinct climatic conditions of the area. During the day the sun heats up the hillsides while at night the vineyards are cooled down both by the river and by the fresh breeze from the Waldviertel (“Forest Quarter”) to the north. White grape varieties especially, develop a spicy aroma, a fine acidity and the region’s, crystal-clear mineral character... more details |
