Description
Prager is a Wachau producer in Niederösterreich, and this 2023 Steinriegl is a Riesling labeled Federspiel. Federspiel is a Wachau category for dry wines of medium weight, sitting between the lighter Steinfeder and the richer Smaragd.
Wiener schnitzel, river fish, smoked trout and Thai or Vietnamese dishes go with it. Keep it between 46 and 50°F in the glass. It drinks well young, and good Riesling acidity lets it keep for several years.
