The family-owned and operated Weingut Knoll is renowned for its excellent wines and pursuit of quality wine in Austria. The winery cultivates 15 hectares of land in Austria's most prolific terroir, the Wachau. The family vineyards are in and around the village of Loiben, where the vines are planted to stone-terraced sites of gneiss or granite layered with glacial sediment along the northern banks of the Danube River. The winery's cellar work is done traditionally, with large oak casks used for maturation, resulting in wines that age gracefully over time.

The Knoll Riesling Federspiel is bursting with energy and abundant tangy citrus, stone fruits, and white flowers. As anticipated from such a reputable producer and a GREAT vintage, the acidity is lively and well-balanced.  -Kimberly
