Description

The labels of the Emmerich Knoll (pronounced K-noll) wines feature the iconography of Saint Urban, the patron saint of wine growing.

This nod to history and tradition is a theme that flows through the whole operation. The wines are made in classic fashion, with native yeasts and each wine fermented in old oak of varying sizes.

This Gruner Veltliner shows the round, flavourful style of wine that Emmerich Knoll Jnr and Snr are renowned for.

As the Falstaff Ultimate Wine Guide states, "This winery has produced so many cult wines over the last decades that it would not be a problem to fill an entire book with their tasting notes."

It's wines like this that have made their brilliant reputation.

91 Points - "Very bright nose of pink grapefruit, lime zest and mint. So racy, sleek and stony you will either love this wine at the bottom end of the medium-bodied range, or it will be too much for you. For us, it is just a bit young. Drinkable now, but best from 2025." - Stuart Pigott (James Suckling)

    Superb value

    This is an awesome grüner that will pair with any Asian flavours. All class.

The vines are generally planted on flat land with an elevation of about 200m. The soils include the floodplain, with sand on Danube gravel. Vines are 25 years old on average (ranging from 5 to 45 years) and are planted at 3,500-4,000 per hectare.

100% hand harvest, with no destemming. Airbag pressed with one to four hours' skin contact. Fermentation takes place in cask and stainless-steel tanks with a capacity of 500 to 5,000 litres, depending on the batch quality. Fermentation with native and cultured yeast goes for between five and 10 days, with temperatures at 20 to 23°C. The wine is aged on lees for a minimum of four months, with no bâtonnage.
