Harvested mid-October and weighing in at 14.5% alcohol, Hirtzberger’s 2006 Weissburgunder Smaragd Steinporz benefits beautifully from the temperate weather that characterized so much of the 2006 growing season, preserving a core of refreshing fruit acidity, along with buddleia perfume, nut oils, and typical hazelnut. Clear and juicy yet with underlying richness, this finishes with a profusion of flowers and infusion of minerals, along with orange zest, white peach, coffee, and hazelnut – so pure, elegant, soothing, and wafting that you want to bathe in it!
