2022 Weingut Emmerich Knoll Ried Kreutles Gruner Veltliner Smaragd, Wachau, Austria
$64.00
The deep löss soils of the Kreutles vineyard were deposited by ancient winds, which dropped glacially-eroded gneiss into the Wachau. The calcareous soil provides an ideal home for the expressive Grüner Veltliner, and Knoll coaxes a rich, balanced wine from the terroir of Kreutles, garnering the Vinea Wachau’s “Smaragd” designation, which is reserved for only the finest wines of the region.
