Ried Loibenberg Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Wachau QW 2018
- Falstaff Bewertung: 95
Smaragd is the name for the best, most treasured wines from the Vinea Wachau-members. The alcohol content of these wines begin at 12.5% by volume. This, along with the highest grape ripeness and natural concentration are what make this world-class designation possible. Emerald-coloured Idex lizards – also known as Smaragd - are at home in the terraced vineyards of the Wachau. On bright, sunny days, their beauty is highlighted dramatically as they bask in the gleaming sun next to the grapevines – the perfect symbol for the absolute top Wachau wines with full physiological ripeness.

Emmerich Knollvineyard:
LOIBENBERG is one of the „Grand Crus“ of Austria. The ancient dry stone walls dating back to the 14th century reach up to 420 m above sea level. The soil is dominated by weathered primary-rock, the so called „Gföhler Gneiss“, with layers of loess and loam in some areas. Warm pannonian airstreams make Loibenberg the „hotplate“ of the Wachau. Stretching out over more than 20 hectares, the Loibenberg is the Wachau’s biggest single vineyard and famous for its diversified microclimate.Soil:
