The Story

Since 1988 they produce nearly every year a Vinothekfüllung of Grüner Veltliner, which has been accompanied by a Riesling since 2000. Both of the Vinothekfüllungen could be defined as dry Auslesen but sweet Auslesen and Prädikatswein also count among the Knolls’ repertoire, and one should certainly sample these essences.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle, in an perfect condition and has by the neck level. Colour is yellow, and looking bright and medium. On the nose it is intense, youthful, complex, opulent and fresh. The taste is harmonious, focused, vigor, ripe, fruity, with silky tannins, medium-bodied, with well-structured, good texture, concentrated and balanced structure. On the palate it is layered and has mineral, truffles, steely, tropical fruits, vanilla, licorice and apricot flavours. The finish is medium long, extensive, flavorful and pure. This wine is transparent, fine and excellent. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 20-30 years and decant at least 1h before tasting. Good value for money.

Medium-intense, yellow colour. Concentrated, intense and floral nose with honeyed notes and touch of herbs. Dry, broad, mouthfiilling palate is powerful and rich. Long oily and spicy finish with floral tones and refreshing touch of grapefruit. Expressive wine with intensity and sophistication. Drinks perfectly now but will keep and evolve easily 20 to 30 years. Serves perfectly with duck liver mousse, finger lime and mushroom broth.
