Knoll's 2017 Loibner Grüner Veltliner Ried Kreutles Smaragd is intensely fruity but fine and refreshingly mineral on the nose. Ripe and almost creamy on the palate, with a crystalline acidity and an intense finish, this is a full-bodied and elegant Veltliner with a lingering grip and salinity. This wine is well structured and will improve over the years in the bottle.
