95 Pts David Schildknecht - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate |
"Hyacinth, lime, honey, and white peach emanate from the glass of 2007 Riesling Smaragd Wachstum Toni Bodenstein. One sip will convince you that this sappy wine of enveloping richness could only come from an exceptional site. Furthermore, your powers of imagination would have to be dead, I suspect, not to start babbling about rocks and stones, because they seem to pave the bed on which this torrent of fruits and flowers flows. Suggestions of tart blueberry skin and pungent lime zest enliven a long, rich, buoyant finish. This harbors huge phenolic intensity yet is almost soothing in its opulence; is dense, yet refreshing. Follow it wherever it leads, for at least the next 8-10 years."
"This was one of our most expensive and laborious harvests ever, says Toni Bodenstein, adding that if the mere two bottlings he does of Federspiel had not this year represented a full 50% of his production, the attention and selectivity necessary for the quality of all the other wines would not have been possible. Bodenstein notes that he didnât risk long skin contact this year, as he did not want to risk losing tartaric acidity to precipitation." -95 points- David Schildknecht- Wine Advocate |
Description:
"Medium green-yellow. Very precise aromas of peach, papaya and lichee complicated by cool wet slate and lime zest. Elegant apricot and blackcurrant flavors are stunningly wound around a taut spine of acid. This riesling boasts superb posture! Abundant wet slate and sweet peach flavors carry impressively on the long, palate-staining finish. Outstanding potential. Drink 2010 to 2027." -95 points- Peter Moser- International Wine Cellar
"While it is obviously deliciously rich, this wine also has a finely wrought, precious porcelain character, a delicacy that gives it a wonderful lift. The white fruits are just spiced, with an herbal element, finishing with a soft lilt." -95 points Wine Enthusiast
"Elegant and pure-tasting, with pretty flavors of apple, grapefruit and peach that are accented by notes of slate and sea salt. The long, citrus-infused finish is bright yet delicate. Should develop nicely in the cellar. Drink now through 2016. 75 cases imported." -94 Points Wine Spectator
WINERY:
"The marriage of a Vienna born young man, Toni Bodenstein to Ilse Prager ushered in a sweeping renaissance at the Prager winery that changed the way Prager, and many other Wachauers, think about their vineyards and about their work as winemakers."
"Bodenstein, a biologist, geologist, historian, and, at the time, aspiring winemaker, determined that there was much left to learn about the vineyards, and as a scientist, set out to study the effects on the vines of different soil conditions and climates. He took this analytical approach to the terraces across the zone, and became enamored with the varied terroirs. Bodenstein then went shopping, making it known that Prager was interested in purchasing parcels within certain vineyards. Since the average farmer owns less than one acre, this was a complicated task."
"Today, as a result of this work, Bodenstein vinifies Riesling from eight different vineyards, and Grüner Veltliner from seven, all contained within a total production of less than 10,000 cases. Each bottling carries the hallmark terroir of its vineyard, and each is as distinctive in the bottle as Bodenstein predicted. Pragerââ¬â¢s reputation has grown enormously and Bodenstein is humbled by the press naming him 'Mr. Terroir.'" -Importer
