Emmerich Knoll Loibner Gruner Veltliner Federspiel 2022
From 25-40 year old vines planted various plots lower down on the slopes on alluvial soil and sand. Hand harvested, whole bunch pressed with a few hours of skin contact in pneumatic press Natural ferment takes place in mix of older large format cask (500-5000L) and stainless steel followed by around 3 months on full lees with no battonage.
The meticulous crafting of this wine begins with a 100% hand harvest, eschewing destemming to preserve the grape's integrity. Employing an airbag press, the grapes undergo a gentle extraction with one to four hours of skin contact. The fermentation process unfolds in a symphony of casks and stainless-steel tanks, boasting capacities ranging from 500 to 5,000 liters, meticulously selected based on batch quality.
Very racy and vibrant with pronounced aromas of summer meadows, green and yellow apples, along with a subtle hint of pepper.
At the lower limit of medium-bodied, it exhibits a healthy structure with fine tannins that delicately underline the discreet fruit, showcasing excellent balance and a lingering finish.
