We were able to cherry-pick these top offerings from two of the Wachau's finest producers. Availability is very limited. Gruner at this level is an extraordinary and unique wine.
Prager is a leading Wachau producer and run by Toni Bodensteinknown who is known for his meticulous attention to terroir and understanding of the nuances between different vineyard sites. Prager’s style produces wonderfully complex wines that are both powerful and tense at the same time. High-density planting and long hang times ensure ripe fruit flavors and concentration, with vibrant aromas and a mineral streak that runs through the palate.
"Toni Bodenstein's collection of (Prager) Riesling and Grüner Veltliner Smaragds set the benchmark. There are world class wines amongst them, true classics of which we will still sing in 20 or 30 years. Weingut Prager has probably bottled the finest Achleiten Veltliners I have ever tasted." - Stephan Rheinhardt, The Wine Advocate
Josef Jamek, the “Doyen” of the Austrian wine scene, was a trailblazer in producing dry, varietal wines in the 1960s. The Jamek family continues his philosophy of producing easy-to-drink, naturally-made wines, blending tradition with modern techniques and a respect for nature. Jamek wines are versatile companions for various foods.
Arriving in April.
