2011 Prager Grüner Veltliner Wachstum Bodenstein Smaragd
Weingut Prager
Planted in 1990 in a high-altitude section of the Hinterseiber vineyard (literally bordering the forest at the top of the mountain), this was planted at an altitude of about 1,500 feet (between 440-460 meters). A couple of decades later, not only does the vineyard produce incredibly elegant and mineral wines, but while others have problems with over-ripening, the Bodenstein wines, even in hot vintages like 2003 and 2006, are balanced and elegant. Anytime you see the “Bodenstein" moniker, you should know that one of the points of the wine is to showcase genetic diversity.

Complex aromas of gooseberry and wild herbs, plus a whiff of mulberry. Blackcurrant and honey on the palate, with the wine's depth and richness (residual sweetness?) held in check by a firm spine of acidity. Minerals and lemon linger on the finish.
