Description
Sandy loess sites near the foot of the Loiben slope provide the basis for Weingut Knoll Wachau Gelber Muskateller Loibner Federspiel 2023, a dry white wine from Niederösterreich, Austria, made entirely from Gelber Muskateller within the Wachau DAC and classified at Federspiel level. The Knoll family is based in Unterloiben, where estate bottling and the Saint Urban label became central to the house identity in the twentieth century; Emmerich Knoll III remains one of the key figures associated with the domaine. Trade sources describe this bottling as coming from Loiben-area vineyards planted on sandy loess soils, while broader Loiben parcels also include Wachau primary-rock contexts. The wine is handled as a dry Federspiel, with available materials indicating stainless-steel vinification and an alcohol level around 12 percent for the 2023 release. The cuvée extends Knoll’s work beyond Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, placing Gelber Muskateller within the estate’s focus on Loiben, Wachau classification, and measured cellar practice.
