James Suckling

Very racy and vibrant with aromas of summer meadows, green and yellow apples plus a touch of pepper. This is at the lower limit of medium-bodied but has a healthy structure, the fine tannins neatly underlining the discreet fruit. Excellent balance and good length. Drink or hold.

About brand

Many generations of this family have dedicated their lives to growing wine: the first glass bottles were filled with Knoll wine in the 1950s, and the arguably most famous wine label in Austria – the family’s trademark baroque image of Saint Urban – first graced the Knoll wine bottles in 1962. The family cultivates wine on sixteen hectares, and the names of his terraces have become common knowledge among both national and international wine drinkers: the Kellerberg, Loibenberg, Pfaffenberg and especially the Schütt yield the fruit for the famous range of Knoll Riesling and Veltliner, which are all clear, precise, mineral-rich and structured, frequently revealing their full potential after years or even decades.
