2022 in Pfalz was a warm year but with cool nights, allowing the Riesling grapes to retain bright acidity and aromatic precision while achieving full fruit ripeness. The Kalkmergel soil (calcareous marl) gives the wine a vibrant structure, minerality, and "tension" that forms the backbone of this wine. The aroma is dominated by peach, apricot, yellow apple, and citrus, along with subtle herbal and stony (flint) notes. On the palate, the wine is dry, medium-bodied, with clean, lively acidity and a soft, almost "chalky" texture. The finish is long, fruity, and mineral, with hints of citrus and stone.
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.
Weingut Knipser is a family winery in Pfalz, located in the village of Laumersheim, and is considered one of the leading figures in the region's quality revolution. From the late 20th century onwards, the Knipser family purposefully transitioned to lower yields, greater precision, and an interpretation of international styles, thereby elevating the reputation of Pfalz wines. They were among the first in the region to seriously work with Burgundian varieties and the expression of terroir, maintaining German acidity precision while adding more texture and aging potential. Their philosophy is minimal intervention in the cellar, maximum precision in the vineyard, and clear expression of the site, especially in limestone soil plots like Kalkmergel.
