The Knoll winery is located in the wine-growing community of Unterloiben in the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Wachau. It has been run by the Knoll family for several generations. In 2014, a completely new winery was opened, which is located behind the old winery and is connected to the old wine cellar via a tunnel. The winery is run by Emmerich Knoll Jr. and his wife Monika. The vineyards cover 16 hectares in the Wachau vineyards Kellerberg, Kreutles, Loibenberg and Schütt, which bear the Vinea designations (Federspiel, Steinfeder, Smaragd), as well as Pfaffenberg in the neighbouring wine-growing region of Kremstal. The vineyards are planted with 45% each of the main varieties Grüner Veltliner and Riesling, the rest with Gelber Muskateller, Gelber Traminer, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
