Dry, Light Bodied style of Riesling
About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of RieslingA wine that really showcases the free-thinking, experimental and provocative side of Toni Bodenstein. Planted in 1990 in a high-altitude section of the Hinterseiber vineyard (literally bordering the forest at the top of the mountain), this was planted at an altitude of about 1,500 feet (between 440-460 meters). Many people doubted that the vineyard would be able to fully ripen Riesling. Over 10 years later, not only does the vineyard produce incredibly elegant and mineral wines, but while others have problems with over-ripening, the Bodenstein wines by Prager, even in hot vintages like 2003 and 2006, are balanced and elegant.
