Weingut Knoll 'Loibenberg' Riesling Federspiel, Wachau, Austria 2021

The family-owned and operated Weingut Knoll is renowned for its excellent wines and pursuit of quality wine in Austria. The winery cultivates 15 hectares of land in Austria's most prolific terroir, the Wachau. The family vineyards are in and around the village of Loiben, where the vines are planted to stone-terraced sites of gneiss or granite layered with glacial sediment along the northern banks of the Danube River. The winery's cellar work is done traditionally, with large oak casks used for maturation, resulting in wines that age gracefully over time.  Probably one of the most iconic wine labels in the world, the baroque motif of the St. Urban of the winemakers, and one of most respected winemaking families not only in Austria but in the world. The Knolls have practiced viticulture in the Wachau for generations, with their first estate bottles being filled in the 1950s.  The Knoll Riesling Federspiel is bursting with energy and abundant tangy citrus, stone fruits, and white flowers
