Prager

Over the course of the 1990s, Toni Bodenstein elevated the stature of his father-in-law Franz Prager’s estate to international notoriety with wines that consistently continue to be among the most complex, intriguing and subtle of any of the world’s Rieslings or Grüner Veltliners. DAVID SCHILDKNECHT, Vinous

Toni Bodenstein is an icon of the new Austria. Innovative is his approach Toni has been in control of winemaking since the early nineties and has positioned the Prager estate as one of the very top echelon. The estates vineyards cover 13ha; 65% planted to Riesling, 25% Gruner Veltliner. You get the very strong impression that Toni Bodenstein is the man, perhaps above all others, to really do it for the Wachau. Time and patience are on his side. PATRICK WALSH, Cellarhand
