The Kreutles vineyard is the more eastern of the two slope toe locations on the Loibenberg. The name is referring to the former undergrowth that had to be removed to cultivate the area. Harvesting is carried out by hand, at the winery the fruits are subjected to soft pressing, followed by fermentation in steel tanks with strict temperature control. The wine is aged on the lees for 3 months in oak barriques and stainless steel vats.

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.
