Emmerich Knoll Gruner Veltliner Loibenberg Smaragd 2019
White Wine
Out of stock
The super ripe aromas of pears and mini bananas are married to a rich, silky palate, where the power is skilfully
underplayed and the long, mineral finish glides over the palate. Drink or hold. 95 points. Stuart Pigott,
