This Riesling Loibner Federspiel 2020 is a village wine sourced from various sites around Emmerich Knoll’s family home. It feels like a spring all wound up with tension just waiting to explode. Still young this wine hits you like a cold wave of zingy mint crunchy green apple apricot sorbet lemon meringue pie polished steel and sea spray. But you know this is only the first wave and if you give it time (we’re talking years here) it will offer so much more. A wonderful wine to pair with Asian flavours but as with all of Emmerich Knoll’s wines consider laying a few bottles down because they evolve so wonderfully.
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.
