2016 Emmerich Knoll Riesling Loibenberg Federspiel
Emmerich Knoll
Loibenberg is one of the ”Grand Crus” of Austria. The ancient dry stone walls (some are dating back to the 14th century) reach up to 420m above sea level. The soil is dominated by weathered primary-rock, the so called ”Gföhler Gneiss”, with layers of loess and loam. Warm pannonian airstreams make Loibenberg the ”hotplate” of the Wachau. Stretching out over more than 20 hectares, Loibenberg is one of the Wachau’s biggest single vineyards and is famous for its diversified microclimate.

Cool and minty with delicate white peach fruit, this sleek dry Riesling has a lot of drive and a very clean finish. Drink or hold.

Knoll's 2016 Loibner Riesling Ried Loibenberg Federspiel opens with a super clear and aromatic bouquet with bright ripe stone fruit and also flinty aromas. Very distinctive. Medium-bodied, intense and mineral but rather light and very elegant on the palate, this is a well-structured, pure and salty Loibenberg that has class and terroir expression—as a Federspiel. Fine tannins, lean, straight, pure and clear: a classic in best form.
