2011 Emmerich Knoll Riesling Loibenberg Smaragd
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.

Complex bouquet exhibits ripe yellow peach, mango and lime, with a hint of flinty minerality. Complex and juicy on the palate, with an apricot flavor framed by almost lemony acidity. Herbal notes linger on the finish, which is highlighted by lime zest and wet slate.
