RATINGS

98James Suckling

Highly concentrated and really firm...has tons of wild-herb, berry and mineral character, running right through the giant finish.

94Wine Spectator

A complex, beautifully crafted version that combines power and elegance. The palate features flavors of apricot and white chocolate, while elderflower and bergamot details glide along the edges. The finish is well-executed, presenting mouthwatering acidity and mineral notes.

93The Wine Advocate

...has a clear, fresh and crystalline, coolish-flinty bouquet with intense tropical fruit (pineapple) and flinty/crunchy stony aromas. Intense on the palate, this is a lush but precise, vital and salty-piquant Riesling with great tension.

PRODUCER

Prager

Prager is in Austria’s Wachau valley. It is owned and operated by Ilse and Toni Bodenstein. Ilse inherited the estate from her father and she and her husband produce Riesling and Gruner Veltliner. Robert M. Parker Jr. has been awarded the wines scores in the 90s and notes that Toni Bodenstein has taken the winery “to the outer limits of complexity achievable in dry Riesling.”

TYPE

White Wine, Riesling, Smaragd

This white variety originated in Germany. It’s known for its strong flowery aromas and high acidity. Please note Rieslings can have dramatic differences as the grape can be used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet and sparkling wines.
