The 2024 Emmerich Knoll Riesling Loibner Federspiel is a vibrant and finely detailed Riesling from Austria's Wachau region, produced by the legendary Emmerich Knoll estate. Sourced from vineyards around Loiben, it showcases the purity and mineral freshness that define Wachau Riesling, with aromas of lime, green apple, white peach and citrus blossom complemented by subtle stony notes.
On the palate, it is crisp and beautifully balanced, with bright acidity supporting flavours of lemon, grapefruit and ripe orchard fruit. The texture is precise and elegant, leading to a dry finish with refreshing minerality, purity and excellent length. As a Federspiel, it combines freshness and finesse with impressive vineyard character.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Riesling for those who enjoy bright citrus flavours, lively acidity and classic Wachau minerality. Best enjoyed over the next 4–6 years while its freshness and vibrancy are at their peak. Pairs beautifully with oysters, grilled fish, sashimi, roast chicken and light Asian-inspired dishes.
