The unexpected death of Fritz Knorr in August of 2012 was a shock for this estate. He was the third generation of the Knorr family to assume the post of head winemaker at this prestigious winery and could well have fathered another dozen vintages. As it is, the world will remember his last: 2011. And what a vintage it was, with the Pechstein my candidate for dry riesling of the year. It could be said, though, that he began in a very privileged position. No one else in the Pfalz and few if any in Germany or for that matter the world have the sheer vineyard potential of this estate, which is capable of producing seven grand crus and an equal number of premier crus in any given vintage. Also recommended: 2011 Wachenheimer Riesling Trocken (85), 2011 Deidesheimer Riesling Trocken (86), 2011 Ruppertsberger Riesling Trocken (87), 2011 Deidesheimer Langenmorgen Riesling Trocken "PC" (87), 2011 Wachenheimer Gerumpel Riesling Trocken "PC" (88), 2011 Wachenheimer Rechbachel Riesling Trocken "PC" (88), 2011 Wachenheimer Altenburg Riesling Trocken "PC" (89), 2011 Wachenheimer Bohlig Riesling Trocken "PC" (90), 2011 Ruppertsberger Hoheburg Riesling Trocken "PC" (90), 2011 Ruppertsberger Hoheburg Riesling Trocken "PC" (90), 2011 Deidesheimer Kalkofen Riesling Trocken "GC" (89), 2011 Ruppertsberger Gaisbohl Riesling Trocken "GC" (89), 2011 Forster Pechstein Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese (91). Other wines tasted: 2011 Riesling Trocken.
