Pale green yellow, silver reflections. Delicate herbal savouriness, fine white pome fruit, mineral, a hint of apple and mango, tobacco nuances, multi-faceted bouquet. Powerful, elegant, silky texture, fine fruit sweetness, finesse-rich structure, mineral-salty, completely harmonious, a hint of apricot on the finish, will benefit from bottle ageing.

Wonderfully fragrant chamomile, buttercup, candied lemon, mango and toffee apple aromas. It's caressing, full-bodied and lightly oily, with richness and freshness combined. Gorgeously ripe, long and concentrated, with fantastic textural presence. Drink or hold.

The 2024 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Honivogl, a brand name rather than a site, is made from fruit picked along each side of the border between Axpoint and Singerriedl on eroded debris. Supple pear and yeast are gentle and tender on the nose. For now, this is more open than its siblings. Here, vivid white pepper is wrapped in subtle creaminess and ripe, smooth green-yellow pear flesh. The wine shows great direction and contour, with beautiful delineation of flavors that shimmer with white pepper. Supreme balance and harmony pervade, with an extra accent of freshness.
