Weingut Knoll 'Ried Loibenberg' Grüner Veltliner Smaragd, Wachau, Austria 2021
The family-owned and operated Weingut Knoll is renowned for its excellent quallity-driven wines in Austria. The winery cultivates 15 hectares of land in Austria's most prolific terroir, the Wachau. The family vineyards are in and around the village of Loiben, where the vines are planted to stone-terraced sites of gneiss or granite layered with glacial sediment along the northern banks of the Danube River. The winery's cellar work is done traditionally, with large oak casks used for maturation, resulting in wines that age gracefully over time.
The taste buds experience a dense and highly concentrated Grüner, with hints of ginger, lemon balm, pistachio, orange zest, and white pepper. The palate is generous with its flavor profile. -Kimberly
