So too on the palate, which is crystalline, fresh and zesty but also very intense and complex. The persistent finish is powerful and still somewhat astringent. Again, this is a great Wachau Riesling from one of the proudest sites of the area.

The winery itself was founded in 1715 and is best known for its single-vineyard bottlings of Riesling and Grüner Veltliner. Franz Prager, now retired, dedicated his career to producing quality wines that are expressive of terroir and was a leading advocate for improved wine quality in the Wachau. Prager helped establish the Vinea Wachau Nobilis Districtus association in 1983 and served as chairman until 1988. During this time, Weingut Prager already owned some of the top crus of the Wachau region, including the vineyards Achleiten and Steinrigl. The estate now owns 16.5 hectares (40 acres) in some of the region's best vineyards and produces eight single-vineyard Rieslings and seven single-vineyard Grüner Veltliners at the Federspeil and Smaragd levels. The soil composition of each of Weingut Prager's vineyards is diverse. This ranges from silty and calcareous loam, which is well-suited to Grüner Veltliner, to mica schist and gneiss, which is better for Riesling. Harvest at Weingut Prager is done by hand in multiple tries to avoid harvesting botrytis-infected grapes. At the winery, grapes are typically destemmed and fermented with indigenous yeasts. Wines are fermented and aged in stainless steel.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42930953158794,"sku":"","price":131.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/files\/23_274d5dc6-80cc-4d63-a325-5172141f1da8.webp?v=1683919546","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/en-gr\/products\/2021-weingut-prager-achleiten-riesling","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
