The 2023 Emmerich Knoll Riesling Kellerberg Smaragd is a benchmark Riesling from the iconic Kellerberg vineyard in Austria's Wachau region. Produced by the renowned Emmerich Knoll estate, this Smaragd-level wine showcases the concentration, precision and longevity for which Kellerberg is celebrated. Aromas of lime, white peach, apricot and citrus blossom are complemented by distinctive mineral and herbal notes.
On the palate, it is powerful yet beautifully refined, with vibrant acidity supporting layers of citrus, stone fruit and stony minerality. The texture is rich and finely structured, balancing intensity with elegance before leading to a long, dry finish with exceptional depth and persistence.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Riesling for collectors and enthusiasts seeking one of the Wachau's great vineyard expressions. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar over the next 10–15 years as further complexity develops. Pairs beautifully with lobster, scallops, premium seafood, roast poultry and refined European cuisine.
