2021 Grüner Veltliner Honivogl, Smaragd, Franz Hirtzberger, Wachau
Honivogl was the old owner’s name. On the border of Singerriedel and Axpoint, so it’s found in the outflow of Singerriedel. This smells pretty spectacular. So much intensity and then there’s a coolness to the fruit, and that lovely palate weight. Lots of dark spice here, and there’s opulent fruit, but there’s so much minerality and salinity on the finish, and so much power. This is impressively textured, and very long.
