You want to spend time with this wine

as I have the feeling it's going to develop and grow in bottle

basil and flowers on the nose

so tall and abundant thanks to their considerable age

the floral aromas and the lifted fruit are the protagonists in this balanced expression

2024 Weissburgunder Smaragd trocken Franz Hirtzberger Rhône-Nord You want to spend timeSuckling 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.
