Emmerich Knoll Riesling Smaragd Schütt 2015

The most complete of Knoll's 2015 Smaragd lineup, and it shows. Where the Pfaffenberg Selektion offers focus and brightness, the Schütt adds a layer of textural silk and deeper fruit concentration that sets it apart. Succulent white peach and fresh lime lead, sharpened by hazelnut and peach kernel, while a fascinating undercurrent of marine minerality threads through the mid-palate. The finish is long, forceful, and mouth-watering, full of intrigue yet never losing the vintage's characteristic generosity or Riesling's fundamental drive to refresh.
