Knipser
The Knipser family in Laumersheim at the northern edge of the Pfalz merits a detour, to borrow a phrase from Michelin. Not only do they display artistry 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. What I particularly enjoy, though, is that they manage this with no whiff of conceit or superiority. Moreover, they regularly bottle considerable volumes of some of their finest wines. With Rebholz in Siebeldingen, this remains one of the two best and most consistent producers in the region.
