Winery Franz Hirtzberger Honivogl Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Magnum 2019

Some say the "Honivogl? is the best Grüner Veltliner in the world. What's certain is that Franz Hirtzberger crafts one of Austria's true wine icons here. Dense, juicy, and powerful, this Wachau Veltliner is complex and deeply mineral. Layered on top is a fascinating and multifaceted fruit profile of honeydew melon, stone fruit, and exotic nuances. Hints of honey, a touch of orange blossom, and even a note of tobacco complete the multilayered impression. Also remarkable is the fine, silky texture on the palate. An exceptional Veltliner, immensely seductive even in its youth – and yet with extraordinary aging potential, which is significantly enhanced in the magnum format.
