Emmerich Knoll Grüner Veltliner Federspiel Kreutles 2022

From gneiss-and-loam soils at the foot of the Loibenberg, this Federspiel has a distinctly savory, umami-driven personality, sage, white miso, and a faint briny lift, with wild herb notes emerging as the wine opens up. Lean and precise through the mid-palate, it builds a quiet richness of lemon zest, dried herbs, and yeasty depth before finishing with a clean bite of citrus pith. Bone-dry and structured, it's the kind of Grüner that rewards attention rather than demanding it.
