B-21 Top Recommendation Read More
Weingut Prager's Toni Bodenstein is indisputably in the top echelon of his generation of Austrian winemakers, and now that his son Robert has taken the helm at the revered Wachau estate, it's clear that the next generation will be one of continued brilliance.
Always among the most sought-after names in Austrian wine, Prager's flagship bottlings set the bar, vintage after vintage, for both Riesling and Grüner Veltliner. Today's offer features a quartet of 2022s that have already found great favor among our long-time fans and collectors of Austria's best, and we just negotiated a new parcel at must-see pricing that puts them among the sharpest buys in the market. Leading the charge, the 2022 Klaus Riesling is once again the crown-jewel of the range, with a potential 99 points from Peter Moser, Austria's leading wine critic at the renowned Falstaff Magazine, and 98 points from James Suckling's Austria critic Claire Nesbitt, who writes, "What a stunning example of cool climate riesling ... So long and seamless, with tension and focus that just keeps going." The 2022 Riesling Achleiten is likewise a sterling example of hallmark Prager class, with 96-98 points from Moser for its "very enjoyable style with length and ageing potential." No less stupendous are the Grüner Veltliners, as seen most clearly in the 97-point Achleiten Smaragd and the flirts-with-perfection Wachstum Bodenstein Smaragd.
Any way you look at it, these are must-haves for serious fans and collectors of these varietals, and our new market-leading, limited-time pricing is a perfect reason to stock up while you can. |
