Knoll's 2021 Ried Kreutles Loibner Grüner Veltliner Federspiel comes through with clear, fine and elegant, delicately smoky fruit. Quite rich on the palate for a Federspiel but elegant, fresh and saline, this is a dense but also quite persistent Veltliner with the freshness and clarity of a Riesling. It has good, quite taut and spicy length with savoriness. Tasted at Schloss Dürnstein, Wachau, in September 2022.
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.
