Tasting notes
Prager’s 2021 Ried Klaus Riesling Smaragd is pure yet very intense on the nose, with a bright yet concentrated fruit aroma. On the palate, this is a rich and powerful, very dense and almost massive Riesling with some Veltliner features in terms of texture. Though slightly bitter, the finish is savory, pure and saline and encountered by rich and concentrated fruit. This is a massive but promising wine that will perform much better from a bigger glass. Tasted at Schloss Dürnstein, Wachau, in September 2022.

Full bottle just 1,270 g. Pale greenish straw. Tingly-rich on the nose – gets the hairs on the back of the neck to stand up! Clean and cool with green-fruit notes and a particularly svelte texture. Already lots of pleasure to drink and admirably long. Good acidity. (JR)
