Vinification:

Loibenberg (212-394 m above sea level) is the flagship of the Wachau and characterises the winegrowing village with its 35 hectares, mainly south-facing with slopes of up to 81%, soil primarily of Gföhler gneiss, partly with loess islands.

Tasting note:

Light yellow-green, silver-coloured reflections. Inviting bouquet of quince and passion fruit, a hint of lemon balm, delicate hints of blossom honey. Juicy, tightly meshed, yellow tropical fruit on the finish, salty-mineral, remains very persistent, subtle spiciness, multi-faceted style.

Emmerich Knoll:

The Emmerich Knoll winery in Unterloiben is one of Austria's best-known wine estates. The traditional label enjoys a similar cult status in wine connoisseur circles as the wines themselves. Emmerich Knoll is no friend of fleshy, exuberant wines. Dense wines that show strength in a condensed form without going overboard - that is the credo of this top winery. Emmerich Knoll and his equally wine-loving son Emmerich Junior cultivate around 45 % each of Riesling and Grüner Veltliner on the 14 hectares of top vineyards Schütt, Loibenberg, Kellerberg, Kreutles and Pfaffenberg, with Chardonnay, Gelber Muskateller, Rivaner, Blauburgunder and, for some years now, Gelber Traminer sharing the remaining 10 per cent.
