Franz Hirtzberger
Steinporz Smaragd Weissburgunder
This is NOT the Steinporz. Wow, what a nose. Deep orchard fruit, tons of stone flecked gravel, straw, wildflowers. Deep palate impression, lots of depth, quite ripe but with intense mineral freshness. One of the best Pinot Blancs I’ve ever had.

May 26th, 2024Really opulent with loads of botrytis but nice minerality and texture to keep the opulence in check.
