title: Franz Hirtzberger 2013 Honivogl Smaragd Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)
description: Strikingly golden in color this tightly holds very ripe yellow pear fruit and dark honey. With time in glass, fresh and ripe pineapple tantalizes. The palate is concentrated and has a pleasantly bitter phenolic edge, stony definition and a core of freshness. The undeniably ripe fruit is still tightly corseted and will need cellaring to express itself. Drinks as of 2018.
variety: Grüner Veltliner
designation: Honivogl Smaragd
