This is bittersweet in a fascinating and stimulating way, suggesting papaya and parsnip accented with caraway and white pepper. Glossy, subtly oily and voluminous, it manages to avoid heat and project just enough primary juiciness in its sustained finish. But I don’t envision it exhibiting the longevity characteristic of this Knoll bottling.

From the lower part of the cru, the 2015 Loibner Grüner Veltliner Ried Loibenberg Smaragd offers a well-defined, flinty and elegant bouquet of ripe white fruit aromas. Full-bodied, intense and mineral, this is an elegant and firmly structured wine that is fresher and more pure than the Loibenberg Riesling. A stunning GV that is pretty coolish and finesse-full, not just for the vintage but also the vineyard.
