2011 Weingut Knoll Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Vinothekfüllung - Austria, Niederösterreich, Wachau (10/7/2019)
Purchased at auction. This is Knoll’s top bottling which is not made in every vintage. Sourced from the highest section of the Loibnerberg and Kellerberg vineyards. The ripest of Knoll’s wines made with botrytis affected grapes. 2011 was a warm vintage. Not decanted. Light gold color with a little alcohol on the nose showing the 14.5%. A rich and opulent wine with a full body. Notes of spiced pears, apricot and a long minerally finish. 95 points.
