{"product_id":"emmerich-knoll-loibner-riesling-autriche","title":"Emmerich Knoll - Loibner Riesling - 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginating from the slopes of Loiben, in the heart of the Wachau region, this Riesling comes from steep plots overlooking the Danube Valley on the north bank. The vines are planted in very stony gneiss and schist soils, sometimes covered with loess, which ensure excellent drainage and promote slow and even ripening. The cool continental climate, tempered by the river's influence, preserves vibrant acidity and great aromatic purity, resulting in a wine emblematic of the precise, mineral style of this part of the Wachau.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGrown on the slopes of Loiben, the Riesling is hand-harvested at full maturity, with careful sorting in the vineyard. The grapes are gently pressed, and the must is then clarified before a slow fermentation, carried out using indigenous yeasts, in stainless steel tanks and large traditional casks to preserve aromatic purity and minerality. The wine is then aged on its fine lees in these containers for several months, with very gentle stirring, before bottling without excessive extraction, in order to maintain the balance and precision of the Loiben terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003ecitrus\u003c\/strong\u003e , \u003cstrong\u003ewhite peach\u003c\/strong\u003e , and \u003cstrong\u003eapricot\u003c\/strong\u003e , complemented by delicate \u003cstrong\u003efloral\u003c\/strong\u003e touches and a distinctly \u003cstrong\u003emineral\u003c\/strong\u003e dimension reminiscent of wet stone.
