“A fruity style, boasting apricot, ripe apple, white pepper, mineral and floral notes. Harmonious and fresh, leaving a sapid, mineral aftertaste.”
— Wine Spectator, Jun 2017

“The 2015 Riesling Federspiel Steinriegl is very aromatic and almost Muskateller-like on the nose. Light and piquant on the palate, this is a juicy, round and well-balanced Riesling with grip and a lingering minerality in the stunningly long and mineral finish.”
“I have still a lot of 2015s to taste but Toni Bodenstein’s collection of Riesling and Grüner Veltliner Smaragds set the benchmark. There are world class wines amongst them, true classics of which we will still sing in 20 or 30 years. Weingut Prager has probably bottled the finest Achleiten Veltliners I have ever tasted. Check out the Smaragd and the Smaragd Stockkultur. Have there been greater Veltliners been bottled in the past 16 years? On the same level is the Veltliner Smaragd Zwerithaler Kammer from a .34 hectare plot from before World War I. It has been launched for the first time at Weingut Prager. Also don't miss the 2015 GV Smaragd Wachstum Bodenstein. Amongst the Rieslings Ried Klaus rules, accompanied from the Achleiten. In fact there are so many wines to buy from Prager this year that you need a big wallet and a great heart for Grüner Veltliner and Austrian Riesling. Whereas the 2014s did not speak to me when I tasted them in winter the 2015s were singing when I tasted them in April – and they are still doing.”
