basil and flowers on the nose

Zum Schluss reift der Wein für weitere 3 Monate in der Flasche

the sweetness of the wine plays with the mild acidity

so tall and abundant thanks to their considerable age

2024 Weissburgunder Smaragd trocken Franz Hirtzberger Rhône-Nord basil and flowers on theSuckling 95, A wonderfully ripe and elegant dry pinot blanc with sensuous aromas of sliced pears, fine green beans and snow peas. Great creamy mouthfeel but still cool and silky, with surprising lightness of touch on the medium to full bodied palate. Long, supple finish that's deftly underlined by fine tannins. Drink or hold.
