2024 Emmerich Knoll Grüner Veltliner ‘Kreutles’ Smaragd

The 2024 Grüner Veltliner Kreutles Smaragd, from the higher reaches of the site, still swings with yeastiness on the nose. Only brief glimpses of juicy apple and green pear appear. The palate shows concentration and a real core that combines lemon zest and yeast, with slight pepper and lemon pith lending texture, spice and mouthwatering length. (92–94 points).
