Emmerich Knoll Riesling Pfaffenberg Selektion 2016

Bittersweet floral perfume — musky, haunting — opens alongside fresh lime and white peach, closely mirroring the Kabinett but with greater intensity and grip. What sets this apart is a deep savory-saline undercurrent: iodine, crustacean shell, something close to a shrimp bisque reduction that sounds peculiar but works beautifully. Pristine stony minerality cuts through, keeping everything focused, while the finish is long, luminous, and almost impossibly alive with marine mineral energy.
