2021 Grüner Veltliner Ried Zwerithaler Kammergut, Smaragd, Prager, Wachau
2015 was the first vintage of Zwerithaler (meaning "nestled in the valleys" for Prager, who have a 100 year lease on this site that is owned by the monestary. Kammergut is a 0.34 hectare parcel that was planted before World War I on ungrafted vines, in a site that Toni Bodenstein likens to Klaus with paragneiss and calcareous soil. Production is limited on this Buschenberg plot and this wine shows restrained concentration. Still so, so youthful and with incredible potential for the future. Flinty, stony and white blossom aromas combine with a saline and edgy core.
