Interesting notes:
“Hirsch” translates to “deer” in German – a fitting name for the estate behind this elegant Kamptal wine. Despite its nimble body, wine impresses with its depth, juicy fruit and white pepper spice. 2024 VINTAGE: THE 2024 VINTAGE 2024 vegetation started very early. Tremendous frost towards the end of April hit the vineyards close to the Kamp River near the foot of the hills worse than ever remembered. After a warm summer we did start to pick very early, interrupted by the heavy rainfalls in the middle of September. Luckily the grapes stayed very healthy, And one of the smallest harvests in years was finished with fantastic results. Falstaff magazine: 93 points.
