Achleiten Riesling Smaragd 2021 Weingut Prager

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

With a clear, somewhat reductive and restrained nose of bright fruit and dark rock, Robert and Toni Bodenstein's 2021 Ried Achleiten Riesling Smaragd opens very concentrated but fresh. So too on the palate, which is crystalline, fresh and zesty but also very intense and complex. The persistent finish is powerful and still somewhat astringent. Again, this is a great Wachau Riesling from one of the proudest sites of the area. Tasted at Schloss Dürnstein, Wachau, in September 2022.

Winespectator (96)

Very enticing nose of white peach and fresh mint with a hint of white flowers. At once succulent and delicate, this is a joyful Wachau riesling that has such wonderful harmony it should appeal to anyone looking for great dry white wine. Super-elegant and very long finish with delicate wet-stone minerality. Drink or hold.
