The white wine Grüner Veltliner Wachau DAC Smaragd Honivogl, vintage 2021 from the winery Weingut Franz Hirtzberger has been rated in 2024 by Peter Moser with 99 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Grüner Veltliner
Pale golden yellow, silver reflections. Initially very restrained bouquet of white apple and tobacco, needs some air, then nuances of apricot and mango, herbal-spicy tobacco, blossom honey and orange zest. Tight-knit, fresh and very precise, white fruit nuances, salty touch on the finish, balanced, but still miles away from being ready to drink, has huge certain ageing potential to develop into another picture book wine. Must be decanted, as is recommended for most young Smaragd wines. (PM 6/24).
