Country: Austria / Ried Kreutles Smaragd
Variety: Grüner Veltliner Wachau
Winery: Emmerich Knoll /
Unlike some other Wachau producers, Knoll restrains the alcohol even in the ripest wines. That means a wine like this has great freshness to go with the rich fruit. The balance is the thing – fresh citrus, ripe pears and spice and a fine depth of flavor. The acidity comes bursting through the finish.
