Maria Hick 2021 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd "Glauberkreuz" (Wachau)
Grüner Veltliner is planted to two-thirds of the Hick estate and is their principal calling card. The Glauberkreuz is the highest and coolest part of the Stiegelstal, producing wines of both richness and finesse. This top-level Smaragd offers a perfect conciliation of chiselled Wachau stoniness and honied opulence.
