2019 Weingut Knoll Ried Kreutles Loibner Grüner Veltliner Federspiel

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).

The Ried Kreutles is the eastern of the two foothills of the Loibenberg. The name refers to former undergrowth that had to be removed before use. The 2019 Ried Kreutles Loibner Grüner Veltliner offers a deep, intense, flint and spicy scented bouquet of perfectly ripe and healthy white fruit. Round, lush and intense on the palate, with a vital, persistently salty and refined richness and super pure. structure. Diti is a very elegant, refreshing Kreutles of great class and style. 13.5% alcohol.

Suckling gives this wine 95/100 points and Parker 94/100. Parker wrote: "In 20 years, I have never tasted a better collection than Knolls 2019s. Thus, it won't be easy for the 2020s..."
