Holzapfel

Wachau Riesling and Grüner Veltliner from Austria's most storied white-wine valley.

Holzapfel operates in Austria's Wachau, a steep-terraced valley in Niederösterreich where Riesling and Grüner Veltliner thrive on ancient stone soils. The winery's Vorderseiber Riesling captures the region's mineral precision and stone-fruit intensity, while its Achleiten Grüner Veltliner expresses the crisp, herbal character the variety achieves at high altitude. A red wine, the Hippolyt Zweigelt, rounds the portfolio—Zweigelt being Austria's signature dark-skinned grape, typically yielding wines of bright acidity and red-cherry fruit. Wines from Holzapfel have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Falstaff, Wine Advocate, and Wine Enthusiast.
