2016 Emmerich Knoll Kreutles Federspiel Gruner Veltliner

"This winery has produced so many cult wines over the last decades that it would not be a problem to fill an entire book with their tasting notes." So goes the Falstaff Ultimate Wine Guide's entry on Knoll, one of the finest producers of the Wachau. Kreutles is a fairly flat site of mostly loess mixed with gneiss, situated behind the Burgstall vineyard in Loiben. This Federspiel from the Kreutles site is a superb example of medium-bodied Grüner with a single-vineyard stamp.
