Weingut Knoll has played a pivotal role in shaping the Wachau as a premier wine-growing region. With generations of dedication to winemaking, the family began bottling wine in the 1950s. Cultivating wine on 16 hectares, the Knolls are known for their exceptional Riesling and Grüner Veltliner, sourced from renowned terraces like Kellerberg, Loibenberg, Pfaffenberg, and Schütt. These wines are celebrated for their precision, minerality, and long aging potential. The 2023 Riesling Loibenberg Smaragd immediately beguiles with ripe aromatic fresh tangerine zestiness. The palate is milder than the nose suggests but offers a juicy aromatic beautifully tingling mandarin and clementine purity with immense juiciness. More air allows the citrus aromas to unfold and become even more beguiling still showing yeasty savor but opening up into shining ripeness without a hint of heaviness. (Bone-dry).
