Probably one of the most iconic wine labels in the world, the baroque motif of the St. Urban of the winemakers, and one of most respected winemaking families not only in Austria but in the world.  The Knolls have practiced viticulture in the Wachau for generations, since their first estate bottlings in the 1950s.

Federspiel is made from grapes harvested at increased ripeness, producing wines with an alcohol level between 11.5-12.5% alcohol.  Clean and lively attack with aromas of white fruits, green apples and lemon.  This Riesling is teeming with energy and loads of citrus fruit.  The acidity is nervy and structured, as anyone would except from this great producer.
