White dry
The most robust of all Knoll "Riesling" wines. A mineral base, complemented by piquant grapefruit and pepper notes.
The grapes, grown in the Kellerberg vineyards, perfectly reflect the challenges of nature and give the wine distinctive characteristics: the wine is lively, fresh, crisp, and full of vibrant energy, which captivates with its grace and elegance.
One of the best hillside locations in the town of Dürnstein is the Kellerberg vineyard. This vineyard, partly extending eastwards and into a wooded valley, has unique growing conditions. The slope here reaches up to 70%, and the vines grow on terraces, 200–300 meters above sea level (masl). This unique slope and soil type give the wine vitality, radiance, steel purity, and brightness.
Serve at 10 - 12°C with oysters, crab, tuna raw or grilled with lemon sauce, salmon, trout, seafood with ginger and garlic, chèvre (fresh goat cheese) or brie-type cheeses.
The striking nose of star fruit, white peach and jasmine pulls you into the seriously concentrated yet razor-sharp dry riesling with enormous Amalfi lemon and lime zest intensity at the very long, energetic finish. Enormous aging potential. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.
