Weingut Knebel, nestled in the picturesque Terrassen-Mosel, boasts a winemaking heritage that dates back to 1642. However, its modern story began in 1989 when Reinhard and Beate Knebel established their own estate in this renowned subregion of the Lower Mosel. In 2008, their son Matthias Knebel took over the reins, and by 2016, his commitment to authentic viticulture and craftsmanship earned the estate membership in the VDP.

Today, Weingut Knebel is celebrated for its exceptional steep-slope Rieslings, prized for their complexity, finesse, and vibrant character. Matthias’s winemaking philosophy is deeply rooted in a respect for nature, allowing the land to express itself fully in every vintage. His low-intervention approach in the cellar—eschewing fining agents and deacidification—lets the wine authentically reflect its terroir. The result is a diverse range of Rieslings, each crafted with the same unwavering dedication to both the Mosel’s unique terroir and the winery’s storied heritage.
