There is hardly another vineyard that has shaped the perception of the Wachau as a serious high-quality wine-growing region as strongly as that of the Knoll family. Many generations of this family have dedicated their lives to growing wine: the first glass bottles were filled with Knoll wine in the 1950s, and the arguably most famous wine label in Austria – the family’s trademark baroque image of Saint Urban – first graced the Knoll wine bottles in 1962.

The family cultivates wine on sixteen hectares, and the names of his terraces have become common knowledge among both national and international wine drinkers: the Kellerberg, Loibenberg, Pfaffenberg and especially the Schütt yield the fruit for the famous range of Knoll Riesling and Veltliner, which are all clear, precise, mineral-rich and structured, frequently revealing their full potential after years or even decades.

Only made in outstanding years, a selection of the highest quality Grüner Veltliner from Emmerich Knoll’s top vineyard sites – Kreutles, Loibenberg, and Kellerberg, all with southern exposure and vines grow on soils of gneiss and some loess. Vinified in stainless steel and old cask, aged on lees for 6-8 months. It's a very special bottling that displays aromas of ripe apple, passionfruit, mango, pear, and ginger with hints of fresh herb, honey, stone mineral, and bay leaf on the nose. Rich and powerful on the palate, a great concentration of fruit & spices, fresh acidity, rounded texture, and a mix of fruit & spices on a long finish.
