James Suckling: 95 points

Alcohol content: 13.5% vol.

Grape varieties: 100% Grüner Veltliner

Vinification:

Grapes from average 25-year-old vines from the top site at the foot of the mountain in Loiben with sandy loess and gneiss components; 100% hand-picked, short maceration period, ageing in large wooden barrels and in stainless steel tanks for 6 months on the fine lees.

Tasting note:

Clear white yellow colour. Powerful, intense aroma of apricots, fresh brioche and tobacco. A hint of carbonic acid from the first sip. Great radiance. A convincing Grüner Veltliner with a very refreshing yet powerful body. This Kreutles is incredibly juicy, concentrated and taut. Lemon grass and a salty note on the finish.

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.
