Vintage 2012 | tasted blind next to Saar Riesling Grosse Gewächs. Great performance. Impressive how my wine friends can determine how Knoll differs.

A little more developed that i expected
Drinking very well though
Loibenberg with Knoll is muscular a bit like a Rotes Tor is with Hirtzberger
It went down superbly in the first day of spring under the sun downunder..still locked, but enjoying the sun.😎😎

Turning a bit golden, but will keep together for long time.
2009 in Wachau was a marvelous vintage.
Yellow peach, ginger, mineral mineral mineral.
Quite fleshy
Very long after taste
I really love the Loibenberg expression.

Marvelous wine
Extremely balanced
Fresh and mineral but soft and persistent at the same time
Wachau at its best😍
The minerally side of this wine is so unique you could easily spot it in a blind tasting
It goes down like water too

This one goes to eleven. What you'd expect out of Smaragd: nectarines, alcohol, cotton. Now do it twice.
