Prager Grüner Veltliner Hinter der Burg Federspiel 2025

Prager Grüner Veltliner Hinter der Burg Federspiel 2025 captures the fresher, more energetic side of Wachau, showing why Grüner Veltliner remains one of Austria’s most versatile white grapes. From one of the region’s benchmark producers, this is a wine built on precision, balance, and immediate drinking pleasure rather than sheer power.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass, the wine is likely to show the clean, bright profile that defines Federspiel: crisp orchard fruit, citrus, and the variety’s signature white pepper and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, expect a dry, focused style with lively acidity, good tension, and a smooth, mineral-driven finish that makes it feel both refreshing and satisfying. While already appealing in its youth, the wine should also have enough structure to gain a little extra nuance over the next few years, developing more texture and complexity without losing its freshness.

Production
Hinter der Burg comes from Wachau, a region shaped by steep terraced vineyards, river influence, and mineral soils that help preserve freshness and aromatic clarity. As a Federspiel bottling, it is made in a style that emphasizes elegance and balance, with moderate ripeness and careful vinification aimed at preserving the grape’s natural purity and the site’s terroir expression.

Food & Serving
This is a natural match for seafood, white fish, shellfish, sushi, spring vegetables, and light dishes with herbs or gentle spice. It also works beautifully with classic Austrian cuisine, and should be served well chilled at around 8-10°C. Decanting is not necessary, though a few minutes in the glass can help the aromas open up.

Producer
Weingut Prager, run by the Bodenstein family, is one of the most respected names in Wachau and widely regarded as a reference point for the region. Known for its exacting vineyard work and terroir-focused wines, the estate has built a strong reputation for producing Grüner Veltliner and Riesling of exceptional clarity and detail across both Smaragd and Federspiel styles.
