Wine maker notes Prager’s polymath grower/winemaker Toni Bodenstein brings a thoughtful curiosity and intellectual excellence to all his projects, especially his Gruner Veltliner Federspiel Hinter der Burg. The word ”Federspiel” signifies a purely Wachau wine, fermented dry naturally between 11. 5 % and 12. 5 % alcohol. The name ”Hinter der Burg”, which has not been changed since the 13th century, means behind the old castle Weissenkirchen.
Producer In 1983, the now retired Franz Prager, cofounded the Vinea Wachau association, an organization dedicated to preserving the quality and culture of Wachau wines, while promoting Wachau”s image beyond Austrian borders. The marriage of Vienna-born Toni Bodenstein, to Franz”s daughter, Ilse, ushered in a sweeping renaissance at the Prager winery. These changes not only affected the way Prager thought, but also how Wachauers thought about their vineyards and their work as winemakers.
