Weingut Knoll, Wachau (Austria) Riesling 2018

Jan 18, 2022

By Miranda Franco

 Weingut Knoll is one of the top producers in Austria’s picturesque Wachau region.  The Wachau is a UNESCO cultural landscape with a 2,000-year heritage in viticulture.  The Wachau has classification categories for dry white wines by ripeness – Steinfeder (a maximum abv of 11.5%), Federspiel (maximum abv between 11.5 – 12.5 %), and Smaragd (at least 12.5% abv).  The Weingut Knoll Riesling Smaragd enchants with intense, penetrating aromas of lemon peel, green herbs, and wet stone, carrying over to a lush, concentrated, and textured palate.  Great power and intensity yet beautifully balanced.
