2007 Grüner Veltliner Achleiten Smaragd, Weingut Prager

Toni Bodenstein always makes wines with focus, freshness and elegance. From steep Wachau vineyards, its terrain if anything more dramatic than that of the Mosel, the Grüner Veltliner vines perch on narrow terraces. Winemaking is dominated by stainless steel; the grapes have more than enough to say for themselves however. White pepper, capsicum, then hints of guava and white tobacco. A splendid example of a little-known but, where it is known, highly fashionable variety.
(Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer)

Nice pungency; not a strong nose, but with richness. Some good persistence and delicate complexity on the palate. Bags of flavour. From 2009.
