"The 2023 Grüner Veltliner Axpoint Smaragd was picked on deep loess in the valley. Ripe, juicy yellow apple creates the first impression on the nose. The palate then adds a touch of white miso and white pepper; all is bright, ripe, juicy fruit with that sexy smattering of pepper, beautifully soft, yet with bite. Franz Hirtzberger himself likened this, jokingly, to a "burlesque show" of a wine with its inviting and generous appeal." -Anne Krebiehl MW
