The 2021 Prager Riesling Klaus Smaragd is a distinguished Riesling from the renowned Klaus vineyard in Austria's Wachau region. Produced by the highly respected Prager estate, this Smaragd-level wine showcases the depth and precision of one of the Wachau's classic sites, offering aromas of lime, white peach, apricot and citrus blossom, layered with subtle mineral and herbal notes.
On the palate, it is concentrated yet finely balanced, with vibrant acidity supporting flavours of citrus, stone fruit and stony minerality. The texture is elegant and structured, leading to a long, dry finish with remarkable purity, freshness and persistence.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Riesling for those seeking a classic Wachau Smaragd with both complexity and ageing potential. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar over the next 10–15 years as further layers of character emerge. Pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, grilled seafood, roast poultry and refined seafood dishes.
