About the manufacturer
Franz Hirtzberger
Franz Hirtzberger is one of the most renowned wineries in the Wachau, that legendary wine region on the Danube world-famous for its mineral-driven, precise White Wines. For generations, the estate has cultivated terraces with vines, some over 50 years old, in prime locations such as Honivogl, Steinporz, and Singerriedel – names you'll find on many of their bottles.
What distinguishes Hirtzberger is its unmistakable style: Grüner Veltliner and Riesling of extreme elegance and vibrancy, directly reflecting the slate, gneiss, and loess of their origin. The Wines are not opulent, but rather taut and dynamic – they show you what great Austrian White Wine can be. The winery works with a strong sense of tradition, respects the nature of its vineyards, and lets the grapes speak for themselves, rather than over-processing them.
With 27 products in our range, you have the opportunity to discover the full spectrum of this classic wine – from powerful to delicate, mineral interpretations. At Wine In Time, you'll find Hirtzberger Wines that will transport you directly to the steep slopes of the Wachau.

Honivogl
The Franz Hirtzberger Honivogl Smaragd 2012 is an exceptional Grüner Veltliner from the legendary Honivogl vineyard in the Wachau region. Franz Hirtzberger is one of Austria's most important winemakers, and his Wines from the steep terraces above the Danube are in demand worldwide. The Wachau is known for its mineral, powerful White Wines, and this 3-liter bottle impressively demonstrates what Austrian Wines can achieve at the highest level.
The grapes for the Honivogl Smaragd come from the eponymous single vineyard with its stony, primary rock soils, which impart the wine's characteristic minerality. The 2012 Vintage yielded concentrated, ripe fruit, which was vinified with the utmost care. Fermentation was spontaneous, and aging took place in traditional wooden barrels. The result is a wine of impressive depth and complexity, which matures even more slowly and harmoniously in the magnum bottle.
On the nose, the Franz Hirtzberger Honivogl Smaragd 2012 displays green, almost flinty notes, accompanied by ripe stone fruits and subtle herbal nuances. On the palate, a powerful structure unfolds with vibrant acidity and mineral precision. The finish is long, saline, and reminiscent of wet stones after a summer rain – a true terroir wine with character.
