Austrian Riesling is often defined by elevated levels of dry extract thanks to a lengthy ripening period and freshness due to dramatic temperature swings between day and night. Steinriegl’s uniquely cool micro climate results in wines of high aroma and focused acidity and its limestone soil provide compact structure and a flavor that is distinctive among Wachau Rieslings.

Riesling’s high acidity makes it one of the most versatile wines at the table. Riesling can be used to cut the fattiness of foods such as pork or sausages and can tame some saltiness. Conversely, it can highlight foods such as fish or vegetables in the same way a squeeze of lemon or a vinaigrette might.

Aloe, green plum and sweet, fresh-cut grass show purity and density. Power emerges with time in glass, with notes of salted plum and apple. Saline and savory, offering plenty of ripe orchard fruit. Drink now through 2032. 1,800 cases made, 125 cases imported. - 91pts Wine Searcher

About the Producer

The Prager estate has risen in stature over the past 25 years to become a giant of Austria’s Wachau. And that rise has been in perfect parallel to the developing genius of winemaker Toni Bodenstein. Since becoming director of Prager in the early 1990s, Bodenstein’s relentless search for pure terroir expression has placed this long-revered estate among the world’s greatest sources of dry Riesling, and arguably the greatest for Grüner. At the time Toni took charge, Prager had been recognized for centuries as one of the Wachau’s elite domaines.
