Knipser - Johannishof
Hail in the summer of 2011 ruffled the hair of these well-tended vineyards located at the far north of the Pfalz near the border with Rheinhessen, but hardly fazed Stephan, Volker and Werner Knipser, who seem to be able to bottle excellent wines even under the most difficult conditions. They do everything well, not only with the classical grapes of the Palatinate, but also with chardonnay, syrah and Bordeaux blends, where they are able to display their mastery of barrel aging. In particular, though, their pinot noirs regularly rate among the finest produced in any given vintage. Along with Rebholz in Siebeldingen, this is currently one of the two best and most consistent producers in the region. Also recommended: 2011 Sauvignon Blanc (86), 2011 Grauburgunder Trocken (85), 2011 Laumersheimer Kirschgarten Weissburgunder Grosses Gewachs (89), 2011 Chardonnay *** (92), 2011 Laumersheimer Kapellenberg Riesling Kabinett Trocken (86), 2011 Riesling Trocken Kalkmergel (86), 2011 Riesling Spatlese Trocken Halbstuck Reserve (90), 2011 Clarette Rosé (88), 2010 Spatburgunder (86), 2010 Spatburgunder Trocken Kalkmergel (89), 2009 Sankt Laurent (91), 2009 Cuvée X (89), 2009 Cuvée XR (92). Other wines tasted: 2011 Riesling Trocken HPB.
