The Weingut Prager Riesling Wachstum Bodenstein Smaragd 2015 is a flagship dry Riesling from Austria’s Wachau Valley, crafted from the Bodenstein vineyard by the Prager estate. This 2015 vintage displays a bright gold hue and a complex nose of ripe peach, lime zest, and white flowers, with hints of petrol, wet stone, and subtle spice. The palate is rich and concentrated, with vibrant acidity, a creamy texture, and a long, mineral-driven finish with a touch of honeyed complexity. Fermented and aged in large Austrian oak casks, this Smaragd-level wine reflects the gneiss-rich terroir of Wachau. Perfect with lobster, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses, it offers a luxurious dining experience. With a decade of aging, it is drinking beautifully but can evolve further over the next 5-7 years, developing richer, petrol-driven notes. This Riesling is a benchmark for Prager’s portfolio, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts seeking world-class Austrian whites.
