History
The Federspiel Riesling is Knoll's most accessible and early-drinking wine: lighter in style, lower in alcohol and intended for consumption within a few years. It demonstrates that the estate applies rigour to all quality tiers.
- 1983 — Vinea Wachau Federspiel category codified; Knoll Riesling Federspiel becomes an estate-level entry cuvée
