Wachau Austrian Pinot Blanc Weissburgunder Smaragd Wine 2020 – Franz Hirtzberger

Franz Hirtzberger Ried Honivogl Pinot Blanc 2020: An Elegant Expression from Wachau

Discover the refined character of Austrian winemaking with Franz Hirtzberger’s exquisite 2020 Pinot Blanc. Hailing from the prestigious Ried Honivogl site in the sun-drenched Wachau Valley, this wine captures the essence of its unique terroir.

Presenting a luminous light yellow-green hue with delicate silver reflections, it invites you in. The aromatic profile is captivatingly complex: subtle notes of toasted nuts provide an elegant foundation, layered with crisp white orchard fruits and whispers of fresh herbs and crushed stone minerality – a signature of Wachau’s pristine vineyards.

On the palate, experience a beautifully balanced structure. Vibrant flavors of ripe apple and a hint of tropical mango unfold gracefully, supported by a fine thread of integrated acidity that lends freshness without sharpness. This harmonious interplay results in a powerful yet elegant dry white wine with remarkable finesse and a lingering finish.

Crafted with meticulous care by the renowned Franz Hirtzberger estate using sustainable viticulture practices, this age-worthy Austrian Pinot Blanc (13.5% alc.) already shows impressive depth but promises further complexity with careful cellaring over the next 3-5 years.

Perfectly suited as a sophisticated aperitif or paired beautifully with delicate seafood dishes, creamy poultry preparations, or soft cheeses, this food-friendly white wine offers exceptional value and typicity from one of Austria’s most celebrated producers. Experience the distinctive elegance of Wachau Valley in every glass.
