From the great Loibenberg vineyard, it opens with ripe pear, yellow apple, white peach and citrus peel, then moves into white pepper, meadow herbs, yeast, wet stone and a savoury hint of miso. It has the weight and presence of Smaragd, but still carries itself with Knoll’s unmistakable precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"494\" data-end=\"828\"\u003eThe palate is broad, powerful and beautifully mineral, with ripe orchard fruit, grapefruit, pepper spice and a firm stony core. There is richness, but no heaviness. The wine expands through the middle, then tightens again into a long, fresh, quietly commanding finish. This is Grüner with depth, structure and proper ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"1147\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"830\" data-end=\"842\"\u003eFor when\u003c\/strong\u003e you want Grüner Veltliner with grandeur, spice and serious vineyard character.\u003cbr data-start=\"921\" data-end=\"924\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"924\" data-end=\"938\"\u003ePairs with\u003c\/strong\u003e roast pork, schnitzel, smoked trout, scallops, asparagus, veal, chicken with herbs, mushroom dishes, or hard alpine cheese.\u003cbr data-start=\"1062\" data-end=\"1065\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1065\" data-end=\"1087\"\u003eIf this wine were…\u003c\/strong\u003e a texture, it would be warm stone dusted with white pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1149\" data-end=\"1675\"\u003eWeingut Knoll is one of the defining names of the Wachau, based in Unterloiben and celebrated for clear, precise, mineral-rich Riesling and Grüner Veltliner from great terraces including Kellerberg, Schütt and Loibenberg. The family farms around 16 hectares, and the wines are known for structure, longevity and a deeply traditional sense of place. Loibenberg itself is one of the Wachau’s classic sites, with gneiss and loess-influenced parcels giving this Grüner both power and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wine Republic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55739784528257,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/0513\/9841\/files\/2023GrunerVeltlinerRiedLoibenbergSmaragd_WeingutKnoll.png?v=1780065229","url":"https:\/\/www.wine-republic.co.uk\/products\/2023-gruner-veltliner-ried-loibenberg-smaragd-weingut-knoll","provider":"Wine Republic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
