{"product_id":"prager-gruner-veltliner-achleiten-smaragd-2007-1-5l","title":"Prager, Grüner Veltliner Achleiten Smaragd, 2007 (1.5L)","description":"Aged Grüner Veltliner is something most drinkers never get to try, and this is a serious example: a 2007 Smaragd from Achleiten, one of the Wachau's most famous vineyards, in magnum. Achleiten is a steeply terraced slope just east of the village of Weissenkirchen, farmed since Roman times. In places there's only about 40 cm of topsoil over bedrock of gneiss, amphibolite and slate, which is why Toni Bodenstein calls it \"destroyed soil.\" Smaragd is a ripeness category for dry wines that only members of the Vinea Wachau may use, and it requires at least 12.5% alcohol. Fittingly, Franz Prager helped found that association. Bodenstein married into the family after Franz had already made the estate's name, and his devotion to biodiversity and the old terraces pushed Prager into Austria's top rank. With well over fifteen years behind it, and the slower ageing a big bottle allows, this is one to open with a table of curious friends who want to see what Grüner does with time.","brand":"Private","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50525011607609,"sku":"NYC-[CNSN]-TTSUMMER0826-092226-284-34","price":139.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Prager-Gruner-Veltliner-Achleiten-Smaragd-2007-1_5L-White-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1790154999","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/prager-gruner-veltliner-achleiten-smaragd-2007-1-5l","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
