2022 Grüner Veltliner, Smaragd, Wachstum Bodenstein, Prager, Wachau, Austria

Description

This 3rd member of Prager’s Ried Achleiten trio is truly unique, coming from a vineyard with a mix of over 190 different clones in one parcel, or ‘cru’ (aka ‘Wachstum’). The geological structure here is also difference, with more gneiss giving the grapes a mineral zing. The clones are all picked and vinified together, giving a natural complexity and blend of different properties resulting in incredible tension.

The 2022 retains the Achleiten hallmark fresh characteristics of flint and smoke, and the nose is almost crystalline in its purity. Bright notes of grapefruit and lemongrass come through on the nose, while the palate is lean and athletic, with an added touch of chamomile and sweet melon.

Drink 2024 - 2032

Critics reviews

Jancis Robinson MW 16/20
Rich and spicy with an off-dry edge. Richer than the Federspiel Hinter der Burg and arguably a bit less precise.Drink 2023 - 2027jancis_robinson_mw MW, JancisRobinson.com (September 2023)
