A multi-site Wachau Riesling that overdelivers without even trying. Steinerterrassen is Hirtzberger's Federspiel-tier blend of fruit from the estate's great Spitz crus — Setzberg, Hochrain, Steinporz, even a little Singerriedel — assembled into a mid-weight Riesling meant for early enjoyment rather than long sleep. Federspiel rules cap the alcohol around 12.5%, so what arrives in the glass is laser-clean: lime, white peach, crushed stone, the cool mineral hum of primary gneiss. Franz Hirtzberger Jr. now leads the estate his father turned into a Wachau benchmark, and this is the wine that shows you, for not very much money, what the fuss is about. A Riesling that drinks like spring water with structure.
