Prager Ried Achleiten Riesling Auslese 2021 500ml Cataclysm Wine dark berry preserve and licoriceThis Wachau riesling fails to fit into the dry wine plan of the regions winegrowers, but succeeds in making the final line up for the 2021 Wachau vintage beauty competition! Ravishing white and yellow peach aromas pour from the glass and the succulence on the medium bodied palate is exactly balanced by racy acidity and saline minerality. Does not want to stop at the driving finish, which is barely off dry. Sustainable. Drink or hold. 96 Pts James
