Let's talk little, let's talk wine

The Emmerich Knoll winery is one of the most famous wineries in Austria. The traditional label enjoys cult status among connoisseurs. The house has always focused on the creation of fine wines, imbued with the terroir, pure and without embellishment. The grapes are grown on the Loibnerberg vineyard where viticulture has been present since 1380. Due to its orientation and steep location (average inclination of 40%), harvesting is difficult and entirely manual. However, it is this inclination which will produce grapes of very high quality. After fermentation in tuns and vats, the wine then rests on fine lees for 3 months. The aromatic expression of Grüner Veltliner (famous Austrian white grape variety) is intense and complex, notably with notes of green apple , pear , yellow fruits such as apricot and peach , citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit . and accompanied by mineral and saline flavors such as slate or gunflint. On the palate, it is fine, elegant and carried by a fine and salivating acidity which remains for a long time. The finish is fine and subtle .

Wines from the region Wachau are classified according to the richness of the juice at harvest according to 3 categories:

– Steinfeder for the lightest of them (around 11% alcohol)
– Federspiel (around 12.5% alcohol)
– Smaragd (from 13% alcohol)

Where are we traveling?

The Wachau The Wachau is a small wine region located along the Danube in northern Austria and at the same time one of the most famous and respected wine regions in the country. It is known for its intense and racy Grüner Veltliner (native grape variety) and its rich and flavorful Rieslings. Most of the Wachau vineyards are located on steep hills above the Danube: a naturally sunny location where hot summer temperatures are stabilized by the river. The climate of the Wachau is influenced by two radically different climatic zones: the cold Eastern Alps to the west, and the warm Pannonian plain which dominates Hungary to the east. Overall, Austria's climate is decidedly continental, with hot summers and cold winters, although micro-climates can be found on the banks of the Danube.

The little history of the country

Austria

For more than ten years, Austrian viticulture has made an enormous leap in terms of wine quality. Today, Austrian winemakers no longer produce cheap wines for mass consumption, but refined and complex wines. Austria produces 65% white wines. From a fairly global point of view, Austrian wines are more powerful and richer than those of its German neighbor. The great national grape variety and the most widely planted is Grüner Veltliner (native white grape variety). Red wine production continues to increase in volume, intensity and quality. Especially in Burgenland, producers make the most of an original grape variety combining local (Blaufränkish, Saint-Laurent, Zweigelt) and French (Cabernet-Sauvignon, Merlot and Pinot Noir) grape varieties. Austria's climate is predominantly continental with cold winters and warm summers. The country is subject to 4 main influences. To the east, continental influences coming from Pannonia, to the west Atlantic influences but also cold winds coming from the north and to the south Mediterranean influences. The Danube, which meanders languorously through many vineyards, brings numerous microclimates to the vineyards.
