Wachau Riesling 'Achleiten' Auslese 2021 Prager

Overview

This is a fascinating, fine and refined Auslese, with a very contained sweetness. On the nose, notes of honey and white flowers. Orange peel and candied lemon, with a touch of ginger. Great tension and dynamism. An extraordinary length that persists for minutes, with an extraordinary balance between sweetness and acidity. An exceptional rarity from the house of Prager!
