The 2021 Prager Riesling Achleiten Smaragd is a benchmark Riesling from the renowned Achleiten vineyard in Austria's Wachau region. Produced by the highly respected Prager estate, this Smaragd-level wine is celebrated for its precision, mineral depth and ageing potential. Aromas of lime, white peach, apricot and citrus blossom are layered with distinctive stony and herbal notes.
On the palate, it is concentrated yet remarkably refined, with vibrant acidity supporting flavours of citrus, stone fruit and mineral complexity. The texture is powerful and finely structured, balancing intensity with elegance before finishing long, dry and exceptionally persistent.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Riesling for collectors and enthusiasts seeking one of the Wachau's great site-driven wines. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar over the next 10–15 years as further complexity develops. Pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, grilled seafood, roast poultry and refined seafood dishes.
