This Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Kirchweg 2023 from Weingut Franz Hirtzberger shows a luminous straw‑yellow robe with silver glints, offering refined aromas of yellow apple, mango, floral whispers, orange zest and delicate herbal spice drawn from the venerable Kirchweg vineyard in Wachau. On the palate it is juicy and elegant with taut structure, fine acidity and crystalline minerality leading to a long, salty finish.
