Franz Hirtzberger Description
Franz Hirtzberger Kirchweg Grüner Veltliner Smaragd is a gem from the historic Wachau region of Austria. This pale greenish-yellow wine with silver glints captivates with its subtle savory herbal aromas, delicate hints of yellow stone fruit, and gentle tobacco nuances. The restrained bouquet is accented by a touch of refreshing orange zest.
On the palate, the wine reveals a juicy, elegant blend of fresh mango, well-integrated acidity, and silky mineral tones. This well-balanced and accessible Grüner Veltliner boasts a persistent finish, making it the perfect versatile accompaniment to a variety of dishes.
Pair this delightful wine with light seafood dishes, such as grilled shrimp or seared scallops, or complement its flavors with fresh salads and tangy goat cheese. The 13% alcohol level and steel tank expansion contribute to the wine's delightful profile.

The 2023 Gruner Veltliner Kirchweg Smaragd has a lovely touch of lime that lies on a green pear peel, shimmering with greenish and yellow fruit. The palate is relatively slender, always with fresh, juicy apples and pears. The concentration provides savor, but the yeast takes a back seat and, for now, lets the fruit shine. This is a really well-captured wine. (Bone-dry)
