Description
The Weingut Emmerich Knoll has been among the absolute top of the Wachau and Austria for many years. The winery has been owned by the Knoll family since 1825 and has around 16 hectares of top vineyards in and around Unterloiben (including Schütt, Kreutles, Pfaffenberg, Loibnerberg and Kellerberg).
The grapes are picked by hand and undergo fermentation in stainless steel tanks and large oak barrels. The wine matures on the fine lees (sur lie) to develop extra depth and complexity. The Smaragd classification indicates that this is one of the most concentrated and ripe wines, with an alcohol content of over 12.5%. All vines grow mainly on weathered rocks on terraces. Sometimes a little loess on top. These special rocks are called gneiss, which was granite millions of years ago. The location is very large, but the grapes for this wine come from a small, slightly higher plot.
The Weingut Knoll Ried Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Vinothekfillung has the most exotic nose of all four. The Knoll Gruner Veltliner Smaragds are released in a very limited Vinothekfillung (see also the 360-degree image). They leave the grapes hanging until they are affected by botrytis and this wine can only be made in the years when this natural process succeeds. It goes well beyond honey, there is passion fruit, passion fruit, grapefruit, ripe pear, hardly any botrytis, very creamy, charming nose, rich in extracts, spicy and spicy, powerful, concentrated, also very expressive fruit on the palate , mango, grapefruit, red summer apple, a touch of honey, pear again, creamy, wonderfully compact and lush, a power wine with a lot of finesse.

Stunning nose of ripe pineapple and mango with hints of mangosteen and tobacco leaf. Concentrated and compact, the fine tannins beautifully underlining the richness, the finish very long, pithy and mineral. Limited production. Excellent aging potential. Drink or hold.

The Weingut Knoll has been one of the absolute top of the Wachau and Austria for many years. The winery has been owned by the Knoll family since 1825 and has around 16 hectares in top vineyards in and around Unterloiben (including Schütt, Kreutles, Pfaffenberg, Loibnerberg and Kellerberg).
Knoll's main grape varieties that grow on the vineyards are Grüner Veltiner and Riesling, both accounting for about 45%. The remaining 10% is divided between the muskatelier, chardonnay, traminer and even pinot noir varieties. Of all the vines, a third are on the steep terraced vineyards where everything has to be done by hand because tractors cannot reach here. The vineyards are naturally cultivated and the wine is also made in the wine cellars in a very traditional way because fermentation and aging is done in casks or stainless steel tanks, certainly not on barriques. Weingut Knoll's wines are, as the label suggests, very traditional. In their youth, the wines are already delicious, but often still a bit closed (decanters are recommended in that case). It is advisable to let Knoll's wines mature for a while after buying them because then they show their true class. The wines are very pure and show an enormous concentration and mineral perseverance.
Knoll's wines are as baroque as the beautiful label that has adorned bottles since the 1960s. In their youth, the wines are already delicious, but often still a bit closed The wines are very pure and show an enormous concentration and mineral energy. Knoll's labels are recognizable by Saint Urbanis and have remained unchanged since the 60s, as has their top quality. This label comes from a painting made by a Wachau artist, which was bought by the Knoll family. To the left and right of Urban is a poem written in Gothic letters:
Tut mir nur den / Wein nicht taufen
Lasst ihn doch als / Heiden laufen
Nur der Durst / soll christlich sein
So erweist man / Ehr dem Wein
