The 2022 Grüner Veltliner Smaragd Schütt is from a site formed of deep weathered gneiss deposits that came through the gully of the Mentalgraben. That gully also funnels cold air ventilating the south-facing site especially at night and creating a large diurnal swing. Smooth yeast only appears in brief glimpses on the nose. The palate has a stony slenderness?a bony skeletal presence that projects stone covered in savory salty yeast shimmering with white pepper and smooth white miso. This is a slender stony even crunchy Grüner with ample depth and tension. (Bone-dry) - By Anne Krebiehl MW on November 2023

One of the great Wachau wines of the vintage Knoll's 2022 Ried Schütt Loibner Grüner Veltliner Smaragd is pleasantly clear bright and fresh in the spicy concentrated and iodized nose. Dense savory spicy and taut on the palate this is a very complex Schütt Veltliner with great length. It's even more impressive than the Riesling Schütt at this early stage. Tasted at Schloss Dürnstein Wachau in September 2023.- Stephan Reinhardt
