Toni Bodenstein describes the grapes from the grand-cru-like Achleiten vineyard as coming from “destroyed soil.†So prized has this walled vineyard been ovr the years that it has been worked down by man and by nature to a point where the coverage of soil is only 40 cm in some parts. The soils just barely cover the granitic rocks underneath and yield grapes with great minerality. The long growing season of this south-east-facing vineyard allows the grapes here to attain a level of richness and complexity not often found in cool climate wines. The resulting wines such as this Gruner Veltliner by Prager are a stunning mix of finesse and structure.
