Franz Hirtzberger Grauburgunder Smaragd 2023 0,75l

Franz Hirtzberger’s Grauburgunder Smaragd comes from carefully selected terraces around Spitz and shows just how refined Pinot Gris can be in the Wachau. The nose reveals delicate aromas of apple and pear, joined by white peach, almonds and a hint of honey. On the palate the wine is full and creamy yet clearly structured, supported by lively, well-integrated acidity. Subtle notes of citrus and herbs add refreshing lift, while fine minerality carries the flavour long across the palate. The variety’s hallmark richness is present without any heaviness. A multi-layered Wachau Pinot Gris that pairs beautifully with poultry, poached fish, mushroom dishes or flavourful vegetable cuisine.
