WINE DESCRIPTION
Prager Achleiten Stockkultur Grüner Veltliner Smaragd is a premium white wine produced by the renowned Austrian winemaker, Prager. The wine is made from the Grüner Veltliner grape variety grown in the Achleiten vineyard, which is known for its steep terraces and rocky soils. The vines are grown using the traditional Stockkultur method, which involves training the vines on tall stakes to maximize sun exposure and airflow. The wine is made using natural winemaking techniques, with minimal intervention to preserve the purity of the fruit. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant expression of the Grüner Veltliner grape, with notes of citrus, white peach, and minerality. It is a perfect match for seafood, poultry, and spicy dishes.
