The 2023 Emmerich Knoll Riesling Schütt Smaragd is a distinguished Riesling from the famed Schütt vineyard in Austria's Wachau region. Produced by the iconic Emmerich Knoll estate, this Smaragd-level wine reflects the unique stony soils of one of the Wachau's most revered sites, offering aromas of lime, white peach, apricot and citrus blossom, layered with pronounced mineral and herbal notes.
On the palate, it is concentrated and beautifully structured, with vibrant acidity supporting flavours of citrus, stone fruit and crushed rock minerality. The texture is powerful yet precise, balancing richness with freshness before leading to a long, dry finish with remarkable depth and persistence.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding Riesling for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a classic Wachau Smaragd with exceptional site expression and ageing potential. 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.
