2024 | Prager Stockkultur Achleiten Smaragd | Wachau By the Case The wine has dusty tanninsI like the citrus brightness of this wonderfully focused white, with aromas of just ripe pineapple, peaches, wet stones and juniper berries. Its full bodied, structured and firm but elegant at the same time, with a long, minerally and stony finish. Mostly from old vines, the oldest from the 1930s. Better after 2026. 95 Pts James Suckling
