Hirtzberger, along with Pichler and Knoll, is probably the highest profile winemaker in Austria's Wachau region. His top wines are the Singerriedel riesling and this wine, the Honivogl GV. Bob gives it 93 points and states:
"There is no more consistently fine Wachau Gruner Veltliner than Hirtzberger’s best (although one or two others may be its equal) and the 2004 Gruner Veltliner Honivogl, harvested mid and late-November, certainly does not disappoint, although I suspect it is only beginning to show its full potential. Cellar some for a decade and taste for yourself. In the nose, the wine is as yet rather discreet, but fascinating in its subtle lily-like floral and mineral suggestions. The creamy richness on the palate here is typical of Honivogl at its best, but this year accomplished without huge body or high alcohol, making for a wine of clarity and poise. Sickle pear fruit accented by marzipan, nut oil, flowers and wet stone flavors carry into a lingering finish of refinement and complexity."
According to Wine-Searcher Pro this wine is currently unavailable for retail anywhere in the world.
