[Today's New Release] Naracella Launches Austrian Wine "Weingut Knoll"

Expanding the Premium White Wine Portfolio

Naracella is launching the Austrian wine "Weingut Knoll" in Korea.

On April 8, Naracella announced that with the introduction of Weingut Knoll, it is expanding its lineup of premium European wines by adding Austrian wines to its portfolio for the first time.

Weingut Knoll is a winery located in the Wachau region of Austria, and has been family-run for approximately 200 years since the 18th century. Based on the steep terraced vineyards of Wachau, it produces wines primarily from Gruner Veltliner and Riesling, and is regarded as one of Austria's leading producers thanks to its long-standing tradition.

In particular, the vineyards of Weingut Knoll are situated in the top single vineyard sites of Wachau, such as Loibenerberg, Kellerberg, and Schutt. The combination of primary rock and schist-based soils along the Danube River, high sunlight exposure, large diurnal temperature differences, and low yields results in wines with high concentration and acidity. These natural conditions are known to contribute to the structure and long-term aging potential of the wines.

The main wines presented this time include: Loibner Gruner Veltliner Federspiel, Loibner Riesling Federspiel, Ried Kreutles Gruner Veltliner Federspiel, and Ried Schutt Riesling Smaragd.

The Loibner Gruner Veltliner Federspiel is characterized by fresh fruit aromas, white pepper, and herbal nuances, all balanced by lively acidity and minerality. It is a wine with bright fruit notes and a long, clean finish. The Loibner Riesling Federspiel stands out for its harmonious citrus and stone fruit aromas, vibrant acidity, and pronounced minerality.

The Ried Kreutles Gruner Veltliner Federspiel offers fresh fruit aromas enhanced by herbal and spicy nuances, with a well-expressed balance of acidity and minerality. The Ried Schutt Riesling Smaragd features intense minerality, with ripe peach and apricot stone fruit flavors complemented by citrus notes of lemon and lime. It has a firm acidic backbone and a clean structure, with spicy undertones lingering alongside the fruit flavors.

In addition, the lineup also includes Ried Schutt Gruner Veltliner Smaragd, Loibner Riesling Smaragd, and Loibner Riesling Vinothekfullung Smaragd, among others.

Weingut Knoll wines are available at Naracella's directly operated stores (Naracella Reserve and Winefix), where the main products are offered, and the full lineup can be found at major department stores across the nation (Hyundai, Shinsegae, and Lotte).
