History

Steinriegl (stone ridge) refers to steep terraced sites in Weissenkirchen characterised by gneiss soils. Prager's Steinriegl Riesling produces a lighter, more herbal expression compared to the denser Achleiten and Klaus bottlings.

  1. 1988 — First Steinriegl Riesling Smaragd produced as a distinct single-Ried cuvée
