Riesling from a south-facing, terraced parcel within the Loibenberg vineyard near the village of Unterloiben. Loess soils over a Gneiss bedrock, vines average 25 years, generally the warmest of the single vineyards. Vinified in stainless steel and old cask, aged 3 months on lees.
Aromas of ripe lemon, citrus zest with flint, wet stone on the nose. Great power, concentration, and depth on the palate, juicy citrus, mouth-watering acidity, textural, very mineral on the long finish with hints of citrus zest.
Emmerich Knoll’s (pronounced with a hard ‘K’) family has been producing wines in the village of Unterloiben in the Wachau region of Austria for three generations in tandem with running the 400 year old Loibnerhof Familie Knoll restaurant in the town of Durstein. It’s a family affair.
