Named after Toni Bodenstein himself rather than the site, it reflects both the character of the Hinter Seiber vineyard and his personal contribution to preserving rare vine clones for future generations. As a Smaragd wine, it sits at the top of Wachau’s quality pyramid, promising concentration, depth, and serious ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this is expected to show the polished, intense style associated with top-tier Grüner Veltliner from Wachau, with a bright, clear appearance and impressive concentration. The nose typically leans toward ripe orchard fruit, citrus zest, white pepper, and subtle herbal notes, with a layered, mineral drive underneath.\n\nOn the palate, the wine should combine power with precision: full-bodied yet finely structured, with ripe fruit, a savoury spice note, and the cool, stony freshness that defines the region. Thanks to the complexity and extract typical of Smaragd wines, it has strong ageing potential and should evolve beautifully over several years, gaining more depth, texture, and nuance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine comes from Hinter Seiber in the Wachau, one of Austria’s most celebrated white wine regions, where steep vineyards and mineral-rich soils help shape wines of tension and finesse. What makes this parcel especially unusual is its broad clonal diversity, with vines selected and preserved by Toni Bodenstein himself, creating greater variation in the vineyard and adding complexity to the finished wine. Harvesting is carried out late, with fully ripe grapes selected for the concentration required for Smaragd classification, followed by careful vinification to preserve purity, structure, and site expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuoka \u0026amp; tarjoilu\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a wine that can handle richly flavoured dishes such as roasted poultry, veal, pork with herbs, or upscale fish preparations with butter and citrus. It also works very well with asparagus, asparagus risotto, and Asian-inspired dishes where spice and freshness need to stay in balance. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider brief decanting if young to allow the wine’s aromatic complexity and texture to open fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeingut Prager is one of the Wachau’s benchmark producers, widely respected for its site-driven wines and its deep commitment to quality.
