2013 Prager Riesling Achleiten Smaragd
Weingut Prager
Achleiten is a legendary vineyard in the Wachau village of Weissenkirchen. It’s famous for wines with an inimitable mineral character. Dry stone walls dating back to the 12th century, which mount the steep slopes with their silicate-rich soil, dominate this vineyard’s landscape. In the upper terraces, gneiss is the prevailing subsoil, the lower terraces are dominated by dark, schistous amphibolites.

Golden in colour, the 2013 Riesling Smaragd Achleiten is very different to the Steinriegl: richer, riper, more on the (tropical) fruit than the soil side. Rich and full-bodied on the palate, this wine is characterized through its enormous concentration and juicy fruitiness. It needs some years to relax and should therefore be stored for another 3-5 years. The aging potential, however, should be great.
17.5/20
RS 3.5 g/l. Smoky nose, salty mineral salts on the palate – Epsom salts! Very youthful. 13%. Drink 2017-2030.
