The Honivogl vineyard, characterized by calcareous soils, provides the wine with mineral austerity coupled with subtle spice. The 2009 vintage bestowed upon this Smaragd an impressive tension between ripeness and freshness, allowing it to retain its structure while developing complex fruit. Hirtzberger is renowned for precise vinification in the Smaragd category, a quality praised by critics such as Falstaff, Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Winespectator. The result is a wine with deep minerality, elegant spice, and a persistent profile. On the nose, green apples, lime, and a hint of grapefruit unfold, underscored by white pepper and a delicate saline note. On the palate, the wine appears concentrated, yet it remains vibrant thanks to a cool, crisp acidity. The fruit is ripe, yet mineral, with a long finish reminiscent of minerality, freshness, and a subtle hint of honey. Overall, the Honivogl Smaragd 2009 presents itself as a multifaceted Wachau classic. Food pairing recommendation: Pairs well with pan-fried pike-perch, asparagus, creamy cheese variations, or white meats. Serve at approximately 8–11 °C to allow its saline minerality and spicy fruit to shine harmoniously.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weingut Franz Hirtzberger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53121095467346,"sku":null,"price":165.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/9460\/2322\/files\/hirtzbergerHonivoglGruenerVeltliner2009-01_926ba50f-4849-4b1f-8b6d-eb98d01c4c40.jpg?v=1775300765","url":"https:\/\/vinosas.com\/en\/products\/weingut-franz-hirtzberger-gruner-veltliner-honivogl-smaragd-2009","provider":"VINOSAS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
