The 2024 Weingut Knoll Grüner Veltliner Vinothekfüllung Smaragd is a concentrated Wachau white made from a selection of top Grüner Veltliner parcels around Loiben. The nose is layered with ripe apple, pear and mandarin alongside mango, yellow stone fruit, herbal spice and subtle mineral notes.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and tightly structured, with ripe yellow fruit balanced by fresh acidity and a pronounced mineral backbone. Nine months in large wooden casks adds depth and texture, while peppery spice and savoury herbal notes lead into a powerful, persistent finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Grüner Veltliner drinkers looking for a serious, cellar-worthy Wachau white with concentration, spice and mineral depth. The 2024 received 98 points from Falstaff and has strong ageing potential. Pair with roast pork, grilled fish, roast chicken, richer seafood or mushroom dishes.
