2020 | Knoll | Chardonnay Smaragd (Magnum)

A cool, fresh chardonnay, in spite of the generosity, with attractive candied-lemon, ripe-grapefruit and dried-pear notes.

Reviews:

• James Suckling: A cool, fresh chardonnay, in spite of the generosity, with attractive candied-lemon, ripe-grapefruit and dried-pear notes. Quite some tannins on the mid-palate, yet it remains rather refined. Then comes the bold, salty finish. Still very youthful, this benefits from some aeration.

Producer Information

Weingut Emmerich Knoll is one of Austria's most well-known wine producers. The Knoll estate is located in the Wachau region, in the village of Unterloiben. It was established in 1825 and is still family-owned and operated. Knoll is best known for its age-worthy, expressive Riesling and Grüner Veltliner wines from unique sites on the northern bank of the Danube. The estate covers 14 hectares (35 acres) on highly regarded vineyard sites including the Schütt, Loibenberg, Kellerberg, Kreutles and Pfaffenberg vineyards. These sites are planted to around 45 percent Riesling and 45 percent Grüner Veltliner, with the remainder planted to Chardonnay, Yellow Muscat, Rivaner, Blauer Burgunder and Gelber Traminer. Soil types vary from site to site but are primarily composed of loess, loam, granite, and gneiss topsoils.
