2024 | Prager Klaus Riesling Smaragd | Wachau
The 2024 Riesling Ried Klaus Smaragd, from a site chiefly composed of dark amphibolite, is all wet stone with a vestige of flint, but otherwise shy. The palate is equally slow to reveal itself in its stony demeanor, yet unfolds into a bright, ripe lemon tone of exquisite purity and poise, seemingly emanating from the dark stone. Somehow naked, yet absolutely disarming in its unadorned, stony state.
