The delicate fresh pineapple and curry leaf nose pulls you into this medium-bodied dry riesling until you are trapped in its web. What an exciting interplay of exotic fruit ripeness and mountain stream acidity this has on the super-focused palate. Very long almost steely finish. Drink or hold. Stuart Pigott Senior Editor
The 2022 Riesling Loibenberg Smaragd opens with a pure ripe Navel orange scent seemingly powered by an ozone breeze. The palate is concentrated adding a proper portion of yeast while intensifying that juicy orange zesty feel that radiates from the mid-palate. That zestiness continues right through to the finish. This is lip-smacking and very appetizing. (Bone-dry) - By Anne Krebiehl MW on November 2023
Knoll's iconic 2022 Ried Loibenberg Loibner Riesling Smaragd shows fine elegant ripe fruit with delicate soil spice. Dense and concentrated on the palate this full-bodied extract-rich and complex Loibenberg Riesling develops excellent length. This is a reliable top wine. Tasted at Schloss Dürnstein Wachau in September 2023. Stephan Reinhardt Published: May 23 2024
