Wine Advocate, 94+ Points 

"Knoll's 2022 Loibner Ried Trum Grüner Veltliner Federspiel has a clear, defined and finely spiced nose with earthy and aromatic fruit aromas. Juicy, savory and very long on the palate, with dense fruit and a complex finish, this is a spectacular Federspiel (which is not really a Federspiel in terms of weight) from the Trum vineyard. It's long lasting and menu-worthy. Tasted at Schloss Dürnstein, Wachau, in September 2023." 

James Suckling, 93 Points 

"Plenty of mirabelle and bergamot fruit fill out the ripe and structured palate that’s at the upper end of medium-bodied. Long, quite firm finish for this category with a ton of dried herb and tobacco leaf character. Drink or hold." 

Vinous, 92 Points 

"The 2022 Gruner Veltliner Federspiel Turm is also at the foot of the Loibenberg, with weathered gneiss soils deposited from the Mentalgraben - a deep gully.  Yeast on the nose is imbued with pepper and some citrus.  The taut, bright palate sprays with zesty lemon freshness and brings the full load of white pepper, dispersed against a yeasty backdrop.  Lovely stoniness peeks through.  Pepper and lemon define the subtle finish. (Bone-dry)"
