2016 Emmerich Knoll Grüner Veltliner Kreutles Federspiel
Emmerich Knoll
"This winery has produced so many cult wines over the last decades that it would not be a problem to fill an entire book with their tasting notes." So goes the Falstaff Ultimate Wine Guide's entry on Knoll, one of the finest producers of the Wachau. Kreutles is a fairly flat site of mostly loess mixed with gneiss, situated behind the Burgstall vineyard in Loiben. This Federspiel from the Kreutles site is a superb example of medium-bodied Grüner with a single-vineyard stamp.

Intensely herbal with a hint of licorice this is a very distinctive mid-weight wine with a lot more depth than the regular grüner veltliner Federspiel. Drink or hold.

The 2016 Loibner Grüner Veltliner Ried Kreutles Federspiel has the typical clear, ripe and elegant fruit aromas you can expect from wines with this iconic label. The 2016 Kreutles is bright, fresh and spicy on the nose but also seductive. A classic! Medium-bodied, pure and fresh on the palate, with juicy fruit and the typical bitter lemon, lime and green apple flavors on the finish, this is a very elegant and refreshing picture book Grüner Veltliner with lingering salinity. Straight, pure, fresh, highly digestible as well as reliable year after year. One of the finest Federspiel bottlings I have tasted from the 2016 vintage. 12% alcohol.
