I have placed a number of orders for wine with B‑21. Could not be happier with the process. Selection is very nice and comprehensive. I have called their support line re delivery of a pre‑order and was very pleased with their level of support in delivering wine around a time period when traveling and\or not available to take receipt. Overall, I extremely pleased.

B21 is the best wine online provider I’ve ever experienced. They have the deepest inventory of European wines, their prices are unbeatable and delivery is speedy and flexible. A five star experience and I’ve been a customer for over four years.

Only thing I don’t like is UPS charges an access point fee to drop off five dollars per case I would have it shipped to my apartment but you have to be present to sign for it and UPS is terrible about arranging that

2019 Hirtzberger Gruner Veltliner Rotes Tor (750ml)

Gruner Veltliner from Wachau, Niederosterreich, Austria

B-21 Top Recommendation

Beyond their sometimes difficult to pronounce names, wine insiders and critics alike count these highly rated Austrian white wines from the legendary Franz Hirtzberger among the world's best. Sourced from one of the top Austrian vintages in a decade, this selection of 2019 Weingut Franz Hirtzberger whites are not to be missed, offering a unique opportunity to enjoy a range of exceptional wines from one of Austria's most esteemed producers at value pricing.

Based in the cooler western end of the Wachau, Weingut Franz Hirtzberger is renowned for producing dry white wines from Riesling, Gruner Veltliner and Pinot Blanc sourced from some of the region's best single-vineyard terraces. Part of a meandering landscape of picturesque small villages interspersed with lush forest and rugged rock formations stretching along the Danube River, the steep terraced vineyards of Wachau overlook the village of Spitz and the 600-year-old ivy-covered house that has been home to the last five generations of Hirtzbergers. As one of the founders of the regulatory group Vinea Wachau, the "senior" Franz was a pioneer in the movement to establish sustainable viticultural guidelines in the region, establishing uniform labeling standards according to finished alcohol levels – among them, "Steinfeder," rarely found outside Austria, a lighter, fresh style, with a maximum of 11.5% abv; "Federspiel" a racy, elegant style between 11.5% and 12.5% and "Smaragd," made from the ripest grapes, at least 12.5% and also considered the richest and most ageworthy. Sharing his father's intimate knowledge of each unique parcel, Franz's son (also Franz) practices meticulous work in the vines, pursuing optimal ripeness with four to five passes through each vineyard at harvest. Fermenting with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel, the younger Franz ages the wines in large, older foudres with limited time on the lees, a unique feature of the Hirtzberger wines intended to best express the purity and minerality of each parcel.

Exhibiting mouth-coating ripe fruit and mineral-tinged acidity, each Hirtzberger selection offers multi-faceted layers of complexity, from the 95pt 2019 Riesling Wachau Steinterrassen Federspiel, a “masterpiece” according to critic James Suckling to the "perfectly balanced" 94pt 2019 Weissburgunder (Pinot Blanc) Smaragd and the 98pt 2019 Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Honivogl declared "a gorgeously elegant and refined Veltliner" by the Wine Advocate's Stephan Reinhardt, reflecting the finest nuances of the vineyard and the vintage. Lovers of the world's best white wines will want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to mix a case of these exceptional wines crafted by one of the best – fascinating to compare and contrast and above all, a pleasure to savor and enjoy.

A complex and subtle gruner with a wide spectrum of herbal aromas, as well as mirabelle and reine-claude plum notes. Super-elegant palate with such delicate flavors, in spite of all the power. So much finesse at the delightful, deep finale. Drink or hold.

95 points, James Suckling (Sep 2020)

Entirely from Spitz (Setzberg and Rotes Tor), the 2019 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Rotes Tor offers a very clear, precise, vital and flinty-crystalline bouquet of perfectly ripe pear aromas intertwined with gneiss spices. Round and elegant on the palate, with lush and very intense fruit, this is a rich but refined, intense, long, well-dosed and powerful Veltliner with a long and aromatic finish. Excellent quality for such a difficult vintage. 13.5% alcohol. Tasted at the domain in June 2021.
