Emmerich Knoll’s Grüner Veltliner Ried Kreutles Federspiel 2020 is a sensational wine. So we feel kind of guilty for saying this but it’s one that should be bought and tucked away for a few years. It’s creamy and fleshy with haunting floral notes of orange blossom crunchy yellow plum pear and white peach fruit and notes of tropical fruit sorbet spice smoke and brioche. Enjoyable as it is right now this wine is still just a baby and will reward the fine wine connoisseur with oodles of patience. Not to be missed.
Kreutles is a single vineyard at the foot of the Loibenberg. Grüner Veltliner loves the loess soils and creates wines that seem to grow in richness and expressiveness over the years.
Emmerich Knoll’s winery in Unterloiben is one of Austria’s most famous and beloved estates. It’s run by Emmerich II and Monika Knoll along with their son Emmerich III. Together they tend 18 hectares of vineyards in Austria’s premium winemaking region Wachau. Their Grüner Veltliner and Riesling vines perch precariously on the steep slopes that run alongside the Danube River. Their iconic labels were introduced in 1962 and depict Saint Urban the patron protector of winegrowers. We assume they pray to Saint Urban every time they head up on to their vertiginous vineyards. As their labels and lineage-observing naming suggest this is quite a traditional family affair. Emmerich Knoll doesn’t go in for overblown and exuberant preferring clean and precise wines that are built to last only revealing their full potential after many years or even decades.
