Thursday, December 27, 2018 - I visited the Knolls several years ago, where we sat down in their familial kitchen (the tasting room was under renovation) and tasted through the line. I was particularly drawn to this Chardonnay, which represents less than 5% of the plantings in the Wachau. Whoa. Pale in the glass with aromas of baked pear, a bit of earthiness, and just a hint of smoke. The palate? Holy goodness. Subtle fruit, perfectly balanced with the acidity, and a finish that lasts forever. Whoa. The others at dinner assumed it was a Riesling. Nope. It is one of the best Chardonnays I have had in a while. thedrunkencyclist.com
