Franz Hirtzberger Riesling Steinporz Smaragd 2023 0,75l

Riesling Steinporz Smaragd from Franz Hirtzberger comes from a stony site near Spitz noted for producing particularly elegant, finely mineral Rieslings. The bouquet offers ripe apricot, white peach and citrus fruit, complemented by floral tones and a hint of herbal spice. On the palate the wine is both juicy and firm, with clear yellow-fruit character, lively acidity and beautifully integrated, salty minerality. The texture is smooth yet full of tension, carrying the flavours into a long, refined finish. A harmonious, multi-layered Smaragd that pairs brilliantly with fish, seafood, poultry or delicately spiced vegetable and pasta dishes.

Stainless steel tank and large oak cask combine clear fruit with calm structure and fine elegance.

Franz Hirtzberger

In Spitz, Franz Hirtzberger has shaped the voice of the Wachau for decades, drawing authority from steep primary-rock terraces and famed single vineyards such as Singerriedel, Honivogl and Rotes Tor. Behind the old winemaker’s house, the slope rises like an amphitheatre of gneiss....

The grape variety: Riesling

Riesling is a noble white grape famous for citrus fruit, stone fruit, floral notes and vibrant acidity. It can be dry, off-dry, sparkling or beautifully sweet.

Its freshness makes it ideal with seafood, pork, spicy Asian cuisine, cheeses and desserts. Riesling is one of the most expressive and versatile white wine grapes.
