2024 Weingut Prager GrĂŒner Veltliner "Hinter der Burg" Federspiel, Wachau, Austria
ABOUT THE WINE
Sourced from steep terraced vineyards in Austriaâs renowned Wachau region, âHinter der Burgâ reflects the cool-climate freshness and mineral complexity that define great GrĂŒner Veltliner. Classified as Federspiel â a traditional Wachau designation for balanced, medium-bodied wines â this bottling combines concentration with elegance and vibrant drinkability.
The vineyards lie on rocky primary soils overlooking the Danube River, where warm days and cool nights allow for slow, even ripening while preserving aromatic clarity and acidity. The 2024 vintage offers lifted aromas of orchard fruit, citrus blossom, and crushed stone, supported by GrĂŒner Veltlinerâs hallmark notes of white pepper and subtle savory spice.
Fermented and aged primarily in stainless steel, the wine emphasizes purity, freshness, and site transparency. The palate is focused and energetic, with layered fruit balanced by linear acidity and a persistent mineral finish.
Exceptionally versatile at the table, this GrĂŒner pairs beautifully with schnitzel, fresh seafood, sushi, spring vegetables, poultry, soft cheeses, and herb-driven dishes.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Weingut Prager is regarded as one of Austriaâs most iconic and respected estates, celebrated for producing precise, age-worthy expressions of GrĂŒner Veltliner and Riesling from the Wachauâs historic vineyards. Led by the Prager family, the estate is known for its meticulous vineyard work, low yields, and commitment to expressing the individuality of each site.
The winery farms many of the Wachauâs steep terraced vineyards, where ancient stone walls, rocky soils, and dramatic elevation changes contribute depth, structure, and minerality to the wines. In the cellar, Prager follows a restrained, traditional approach focused on clarity, balance, and minimal intervention.
Their wines are internationally admired for their purity, finesse, and ability to translate the Wachauâs unique terroir into elegant, highly expressive wines that evolve beautifully with time.
