Description

The 2020 Loibner Ried Trum Grüner Veltliner Federspiel is from sandy, well-drained, weathered gnesiss soils next to the Ried Schütt.  The noise is clear, fresh and elegant with fruit and wild pea aromas.  Lush yet refined and elegant, with a mineral structure, this is an intense, nuanced, tensioned, finely grippy and persistent.  Federspiel with a serious complex and stimulatingly salty finish.  Drink: 2021~2040 - WA93

Very pure and precise, with a lean profile, this Grüner Veltliner offers hints of lily and green tea, plus notes of persimmon, quince and shaved ginger. The acidity imparts precision and backbone, allowing the wine to flow effortlessly. The complex finish makes this complete. Drink now through 2033. - WE93

The Winery

Weingut Emmerich Knoll is one of Austria's most well-known wine producers. The Knoll estate is located in the Wachau region, in the village of Unterloiben. It was established in 1825 and is still family-owned and operated. Knoll is best known for its age-worthy, expressive Riesling and Grüner Veltliner wines from unique sites on the northern bank of the Danube.

The estate covers 14 hectares (35 acres) on highly regarded vineyard sites including the Schütt, Loibenberg, Kellerberg, Kreutles and Pfaffenberg vineyards.

These sites are planted to around 45 percent Riesling and 45 percent Grüner Veltliner, with the remainder planted to Chardonnay, Yellow Muscat, Rivaner, Blauer Burgunder and Gelber Traminer. Soil types vary from site to site but are primarily composed of loess, loam, granite, and gneiss topsoils.

Emmerich Knoll is a member of the Vinea Wachau Nobilis Districtus and follows the association's strict quality control regulations and three-tier ranking system, producing Steinfeder, Federspiel and Smaragd level wines. Some of the estate's top wines include the Kellerberg Riesling Smaragd, Loibenberg Grüner Veltliner Smaragd, and Beerenauslese and Trockenbeerenauslese wines that are made only in vintages conductive to the development of botrytis.

The estate handpicks the grapes at specific ripeness and must weights, blocks malolactic fermentation for freshness, and uses large oak fourdres almost exclusively for an oxidative winemaking process. - Information from Wine Searcher
