The 2012 Prager 'Hinter der Burg Federspeil' Grüner Veltliner is another gorgeous effort from this estate. Coming from a vineyard set at roughly 800 feet, 'Hinter der Burg' can be translated as 'behind the mountain' which is located at a mountain castle, Weissenkirchen. This straw colored white wine begins with bright aromas of gooseberry, white peach, orange blossom and Key lime pie. The wine has flavors of green olive, pink grapefruit, tangerine and lemon/lime. With racy acidity, this brilliant wine brings you back to the glass for more. While this wine clearly has a refreshing edge, the smoothness, texture and elegant flair that glides through the mid-palate helps this brilliant Austrian sing.(Best 2016-2022) - August, 2016 (OB)
