ON OFFER Bottle of the rare and highly sought after wine from the Honivogl Vineyard which is Franz Hirtzberger's cream of the crop. At the foot of the Singerriedel, the best Grüner Veltliner grapes thrive in soil infused with minerals. The southern exposure embraces the vines with the warmth of the sun, creating ideal conditions for this world-class wine. A terrace vineyard that is not only great in its fruits, but also requires intensive care and attention. Picked in Spitz between November 5 and 28, the 2016 Ried Honivogl Grüner Veltliner Smaragd opens with clear, deep, intense and ripe fruit intertwined with very fine mineral aromas of crushed gneiss and iron. Full-bodied, intense and very elegant on the palate, this is a rich but also pure and salty-mineral Veltliner with remarkable finesse and elegance and a complex finish that displays a lot of tropical aromas like bananas and super ripe stone fruits.
