WINE DESCRIPTION
Prager Achleiten Riesling Smaragd is a premium white wine produced by the renowned Austrian winemaker, Prager. The grapes are sourced from the Achleiten vineyard, located in the Wachau region, which is known for its steep terraces and unique soil composition. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the Riesling grape, with notes of citrus, stone fruit, and minerality. The Smaragd designation indicates that the wine is made from fully ripe grapes and has a rich, full-bodied style.
