Franz Hirtzberger Axpoint Gruner Veltliner Smaragd 2022

Franz Hirtzberger Axpoint Smaragd Grüner Veltliner 2022 is a full-bodied white wine from the Wachau region of Austria. Based in the historic white wine-producing Wachau Valley, five generations of Hirtzbergers have tended the vines which date back as far as the 13th century. Smaragd denotes grapes picked with the highest level of ripeness and is considered the highest quality level of the wines of Wachau. "Light greenish yellow, silver reflections. Delicate apricot, a touch of honeydew melon, tangerine zest, multi-faceted bouquet. Juicy, elegant, fruity, harmonious, silky, fine, well-integrated acidity, an elegant food wine, already very drinkable, has ageing potential." Falstaff, 2023
