Knoll Gruner Veltliner “Loibner” Steinfeder 2023
Gruner Veltliner | Wachau | Austria | White Wine | Weingut Emmerich Knoll | 2023 | 0,75 L | 11,5 %
About
This is a dry Steinfeder Grüner Veltliner made entirely from Loibner grapes in Wachau. At just 11–11.5% ABV, it presents aromas of white pepper, green apple, pear, citrus and minerality. The palate is balanced and lively, with bright acidity and a clean, refined finish. Serve chilled at 8–10 °C; excellent with shellfish, light fish dishes or soft cheeses.
Producer
There is hardly another vineyard that has shaped the perception of the Wachau as a serious high-quality wine-growing region as strongly as that of the Knoll family. Many generations of this family have dedicated their lives to growing wine: the first glass bottles were filled with Knoll wine in the 1950s, and the arguably most famous wine label in Austria – the family’s trademark baroque image of Saint Urban – first graced the Knoll wine bottles in 1962.
The family cultivates wine on sixteen hectares, and the names of his terraces have become common knowledge among both national and international wine drinkers: the Kellerberg, Loibenberg, Pfaffenberg and especially the Schütt yield the fruit for the famous range of Knoll Riesling and Veltliner, which are all clear, precise, mineral-rich and structured, frequently revealing their full potential after years or even decades.
Tasting notes
Pale yellow-green with silvery reflections. The bouquet offers fine herbal savouriness, white pepper, mandarin zest and a hint of passion fruit. On the palate it’s refreshing, elegant and light-footed with bright acidity, citrus and mineral undertones, finishing on subtle white stone fruit tones for a long, refined finish.
Pairing
Weingut Emmerich Knoll, from the steep Loibner vineyard in Wachau, crafts this Grüner Veltliner Steinfeder from 100% Loibner fruit. Fermented in stainless steel with minimal lees contact and a low alcohol level (11–11.5%) to showcase purity and terroir expression.

Gruner Veltliner
Grüner Veltliner wines are well textured, but very refreshing and crispy, focused on minerality and citrus character. With time they soften and take in honeyed, candied fruit-like flavors that match their deep golden hue.
This is the story of how one of the most exciting wine regions in Austria came into being. For millions of years, the Danube River has carved its serpentine path through solid soils, and today the rocky terraces provide places for growing grapes. Two grape varieties are mainly cultivated in this region: Riesling and Grüner Veltliner.
