Franz Hirtzberger 2007 Axpoint Smaragd Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)

Country: Austria / Axpoint Smaragd
Variety: Grüner Veltliner Wachau
Winery: Franz Hirtzberger /

A full-bodied, spicy style of Grüner that still keeps its sense of minerality and structure. The wine is fruity, its pear flavors dominant at first. But then the concentration and the freshness both deepen the taste and lift it at the same time. An impressive wine, epitomizing both rich Grüner and a taut, cool-climate character.
