2018 Weingut Knoll Steiner Riesling Ried Pfaffenberg Selection

The Weingut Emmerich 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 of top vineyards in and around Unterloiben (including Schütt, Kreutles, Pfaffenberg, Loibnerberg and Kellerberg).

As the name suggests, dd wine comes from a vineyard on the Loibenberg. The large surface area and the large differences in height lead to a total of 4 official partial vineyards and a large number of small, different small vineyards. The location can be traced back to 1381, then known as "leub_n perig". The sandy-stony soil promotes drainage and facilitates root growth. The easily heatable soil also ensures that the vines germinate early in the spring.

The Emmerich Knoll Steiner Riesling Ried Pfaffenberg Selection 2018 is pure, fresh and spicy with a very clean and spicy nose. In the mouth this is a round, rich and quite powerful Riesling with remarkable intensity, grip and mineral tension. The finish is long and complex and promises great aging potential.
