Franz Hirtzberger Riesling Hochrain Smaragd 2023 0,75l
Franz Hirtzberger’s Riesling Hochrain Smaragd comes from a warm, deep-soiled site above the Danube and delivers a particularly concentrated, ripe style of Wachau Riesling. The bouquet shows yellow stone fruit, apricot and peach, joined by citrus zest, blossom honey and subtle herbal spice. On the palate the wine is tight and focused, with juicy fruit, a racy line of acidity and salty, spicy minerality. The structure is dense yet remains elegant and precise. A very long finish of citrus, stone fruit and mineral notes hints at excellent ageing potential. A top-class Smaragd for fine fish, shellfish, white meats or refined Asian-inspired dishes.
Ageing in large oak casks frames the ripe Riesling fruit and emphasises mineral depth and structure.
