2023 Grüner Veltliner, Hinter der Burg, Prager, Wachau, Austria

Description

Considering the age of the vines, which are nearly 70 years old, and the unique quality of the gravel-rich terroir, this cuvée from Tony Bodenstein offers extraordinary value. There is the rich, vibrant fruit one would expect from a quality Grüner Veltliner. The vines and terroir add impressive power in the concentration of fruit and a deliciously refreshing crispness of structure, leading to a perfectly balanced finish. It will be immensely satisfying to enjoy in its youth but has the quality and concentration to allow it to age to 2035.

About this wine

Grüner Veltliner

Grüner Veltliner is Austria's most famous grape variety. It is indigenous to Austria and is grown extensively in every Austrian wine region with the exception of Steiermark. It constitutes 36% of all vineyard plantings with the best wines coming from the north-east of the country, particularly regions such as the Wachau, Kamptal and Kremstal which border the Danube river.

Weingut Prager

Weingut Prager is run by Toni Bodenstein, son-in-law of Franz Prager and one of the most celebrated winemakers in Austria today. Toni has run the estate for a number of years now and is the foremost authority in the region on the hugely diverse microclimates across the valley. Earnest but very likeable, he has made a minute geological study of this extraordinary terroir. Southfacing and running down to the Danube, his Achleiten vineyard yields both Grüner Veltliner and Riesling from the top Smaragd classification.
