Hirsch “Hirschvergnügen” Grüner Veltliner Kamptal DAC 2024

Fresh, linear and stony. A Kamptal Grüner Veltliner with green apple, citrus and a hint of white pepper, made for oysters.

Holy Information
Hirschvergnügen is the easy-drinking side of Weingut Hirsch. This family-run estate in Kamptal, Austria has roots going back to the 16th century. Johannes Hirsch farms terraced vineyards around Kammern on loess and primary rock soils, working organically and by hand, with native yeasts and neutral vessels in the cellar.

In the glass, expect green apple, lemon zest, pear, white pepper and light herbs. The palate is fresh and linear, with firm acidity, citrus and orchard fruit, a stony minerality and a pithy orange-rind note.

That crisp, mineral freshness is just what oysters like. It lifts the brininess and cleans the palate between bites. Pour it as an aperitif, or keep it flowing through the whole Holy Shuck session.
