Emmerich Knoll Grüner Veltliner Loibenberg Smaragd Wachau DAC

Wachau DAC, Austria

Single-vineyard Smaragd Grüner Veltliner from the Loibenberg above Unterloiben — gneiss and primary rock soils. White pepper, grapefruit, green herbs, white truffle and intense mineral depth; powerful, structured and long-lived with fifteen-plus years development ahead.

Pairing intelligence

• main: Smaragd GV's pepper-mineral weight and acidity are the canonical Austrian pairing for roast veal preparations.
• main: Grüner Veltliner and white asparagus is Austria's most beloved springtime food-wine pairing.
