About the manufacturer
knoll
Knoll is one of the flagship wineries of the Wachau region and stands for elegant, precise Grüner Veltliner and Riesling of the highest quality. The winery cultivates terraces on the steepest slopes, allowing these extreme conditions to flow directly into the bottle – you taste the power of the Danube, the minerality of the slate, and the southern sun in every sip.
What distinguishes Knoll is its uncompromising quality, free of frills. There's no experimentation or chasing trends. Instead, the team focuses on what the vineyards truly offer: mineral-driven, vibrant White Wines with aging potential. The Federspiel Wines, in particular, display a special elegance – not too heavy, not too light, but just right for discerning palates.
At Knoll, you'll learn why the Wachau is considered one of the world's greatest White Wine regions. Single vineyard sites like Trum and Schütt are legendary, producing White Wines that become increasingly interesting with age. At Wine In Time, you'll find a carefully curated selection of these classics – because great Wines deserve to be enjoyed by experts who understand them.

Pfaffenberg
The Knoll Pfaffenberg Riesling 2016, in its impressive 3-liter bottle, is far more than just a wine – it's a statement. Originating from the legendary Wachau region, where steep terraces and ancient gneiss soils form the basis for Austria's greatest Rieslings, this wine embodies the heart of the Knoll winery. The Pfaffenberg vineyard, one of the Wachau's most prestigious sites, yields grapes of exceptional concentration and mineral depth. Discover other excellent Austrian Wines in our selection.
The large format allows for a slower maturation process, enabling the characteristic tension of the 2016 Vintage to fully develop. Hand-picked grapes, spontaneous fermentation, and extended lees aging create a foundation for decades to come. Classic vinification in large wooden casks preserves the crystalline clarity that has distinguished the Knoll winery for generations.
The nose reveals a complex interplay of yellow stone fruits, citrus peel, and delicate herbal spice. On the palate, the full elegance of this exceptional wine unfolds: juicy acidity meets ripe peach notes, while mineral salinity and a subtle hint of honey add complexity. The finish is endless, carried by that typical Wachau freshness that makes even monumental Wines seem weightless.
At Wine In Time, this rare wine will be delivered to Vienna securely packaged in a wooden crate – perfect for collectors and connoisseurs seeking something special. Also, explore our entire selection of White Wines, including hand-picked gems.
Serve this Riesling at 10–12°C with fine fish, mature hard cheese, or as a majestic soloist. A wine that creates occasions and shapes memories.
