Prager Riesling Klaus Smaragd 2024 Magnum

Prager Riesling Klaus Smaragd 2024 Magnum is a benchmark Wachau Riesling from one of Austria’s most celebrated single vineyards. Sourced from the steep Klaus site above Weißenkirchen, it combines precision, depth, and the kind of structure that has made Prager a reference name for age-worthy white wine.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a poised, luminous Riesling with a focused, almost crystalline profile. The nose is typically layered and refined, showing ripe citrus, white peach, wet stone, and subtle herbal and floral nuances, with a distinctly mineral edge that reflects the Klaus vineyard. On the palate, the wine is concentrated yet driven by freshness, balancing power with tension and detail. Citrus zest, stone fruit, and flinty minerality unfold over a precise, energetic core, finishing long and serious. This is a Riesling built for development and should reward cellaring beautifully over many years, especially in magnum format.

Production
Klaus is a steep single vineyard in Weißenkirchen, one of the most respected sites in the Wachau, known for producing intensely expressive Rieslings with strong mineral character. The Smaragd designation places the wine in the region’s top ripeness category, reflecting fully developed fruit and greater concentration. Prager’s approach is centered on vineyard expression and careful winemaking, allowing the site’s structure, detail, and aging potential to come through with clarity.

Food & Serving
Serve this Riesling lightly chilled, ideally around 10–12°C. It pairs beautifully with dishes that echo its precision and depth, such as grilled river fish, shellfish, sashimi, roast poultry, or refined Asian cuisine with a touch of spice. Decanting is not essential for a young bottle, but a little air can help it open up if enjoyed now.

Producer
Weingut Prager, founded by the Bodenstein family, is one of Austria’s most important estates and a defining producer in the Wachau. Known for its uncompromising focus on site expression, the winery has earned a reputation for crafting some of the region’s most precise and long-lived wines. Its top vineyard bottlings, especially from sites like Klaus, are widely regarded as reference points for serious Austrian Riesling.
