Emmerich Knoll Grüner Veltliner Loibner Smaragd 2024
$74.99
Critical Acclaim: 93 pts James Suckling; 91–93 pts Vinous.
About the Winery: The Knoll family farms vineyards around Unterloiben in Austria's Wachau, where its St. Urban label is a familiar sight among lovers of structured dry whites.
About the Wine: This 2024 Loibner Smaragd draws from sites at different elevations around Loiben. It is a village wine, not the single-vineyard Ried Loibenberg bottling.
Tasting Notes: Ripe yellow fruit, pear, a herbal lift and white-pepper spice carry through a concentrated but fresh palate.
"This has aromas of candied citrus, rosemary, mango pits and some white pepper." - James Suckling.
"The nose shows a touch of reduction before ripe green and yellow pear emerge, followed by a hint of yeast and pepper." - Vinous.
Serving Suggestion: Serve cool with roast pork, river fish, mushroom dishes or herb-roasted chicken.
Varietal: Grüner Veltliner.
