The year 2024 was favourable for the Pinot Grigio grape variety in the Pfalz region – a balanced harvest with warm days and cool nights allowed the grapes to retain vibrant acidity and aromatic clarity, resulting in a well-balanced, fruit-forward wine. The aroma is dominated by ripe green apples, pear, and melon, accompanied by notes of white flowers, delicate olives, and citrus zest, which provide additional aromatic vibrancy and freshness.
On the palate, the wine is dry, light to medium-bodied, with distinct acidity and a clean fruit profile. The texture is soft and straightforward, and the finish is lingering, with persistent fruit and a delicate mineral undertone.
About the manufacturer
Knipser Winery, located in the village of Laumersheim in the Pfalz region, is considered one of the leaders of the qualitative revolution in German winemaking. The family's history in this region began in the 19th century, but the estate gained its current recognition in the second half of the 20th century when it was decided to focus on smaller yields, higher quality, and an international style. Knipser was one of the first wineries in Pfalz to seriously work with Burgundy varieties – Grauburgunder, Weissburgunder, Spätburgunder – as well as Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, thus expanding the boundaries of the region's possibilities. Today, it is one of the most highly regarded private wineries in Germany, holding the highest national ratings.
The winery is run by the Knipser family – brothers Volker and Werner Knipser took over the business, and today the younger generation is also actively involved. Their philosophy is based on precision in the vineyard and patience in the cellar: smaller yields, hand-picking, selective fermentation, and aging in oak barrels when the wine's structure requires it. They strive for a balance between German acidic precision and Burgundian elegance – so that the wines are structured, long-lived, yet clearly reflect the soils of Pfalz and the ripeness imparted by a warmer climate.
