Knuttel Family

William Knuttel’s winemaking journey traverses forty years.  Before establishing the Knuttel Family brand with daughter Kate and son Sebastian, he had stops at Saintsbury, which he established as an international leader in Burgundian style Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and at Chalk Hill Estate, producing ultra-premium Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Sauvignon Blanc. Knuttel was Executive Winemaker at Dry Creek Vineyard, where he completely re-honed the styles and quality of their extensive portfolio.

He founded his eponymous brand, William Knuttel, in 2001 with an emphasis on single vineyard and specialty bottlings, and then added the Knuttel Family line in 2014 for sub-appellated, premium wines of incredible value.
