Emmerich Knoll 'Ried Kellerberg' Smaragd Riesling 2023 750ml

Smaragd Riesling

Ried Kellerberg Riesling 2023



The mighty, iconic terraced Kellerberg vineyard produces deep, profound and though provoking Riesling. The centuries old, terraced walls retain and reflect heat resulting in grapes that are intense and full of flavour. The site reigns supreme and wines made from grapes grown on Kellerberg speak volumes of the terraces on which they are grown and varietal character is often taken over by the extremely strong stamp of the site itself! – Knoll

"Extremely pronounced Mediterranean-herb aromas pour from the glass. Then comes the radical minerality of this austere masterpiece that has Amalfi lemons and a few wild-berry notes but none of the usual stone-fruit charm. Either this will blow your mind with its stony intensity or you’ll want something else. In spite of all this, there’s a lovely little burst of juiciness in the long, very focused finish. Drink or hold."
