Franz Hirtzberger 2007 Hochrain Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)

Country: Austria / Hochrain Smaragd
Variety: Riesling Wachau
Winery: Franz Hirtzberger /

A Riesling that hovers deliciously between Alsace and the German Rheingau. It has the richness of Alsace, but the structure of the Rheingau. And it brings more, because the tight soils of the Hochrain vineyard, with its stony subsoil, brings an intense minerality, which is surrounded by opulent apricot and pineapple fruits. A great wine with enormous potential.
