Description
Weingut Knipser Syrah Reserve – dry, powerful red wine made from Syrah grape varieties in Pfalz region, Germany.
Weingut Knipser Syrah Reserve is a wine made in a European style typical of the classic Northern Rhone. Knipser Wine House started growing Syrah grapes in 1994, in two of its best vineyards: Steinbuckel and Mandelpfad. Weingut Knipser Syrah Reserve wine is produced only from exceptionally good vintage years such as 2018.
The Kipser wine house was one of the first to be established in the Pfalz region in 1876 in the town of Laumersheim. This village was famous for its winemaking as early as the Middle Ages. Written sources mention the town’s vineyards since 769. And archaeological finds suggest that wine was produced in these areas during the Roman Empire.
Although the current winery began operations in 1876, intensive use of its name brand Knipser did not begin until 1948. Heinz Knipser began pouring wine under his own name and began selling it directly, as well as supplying the surrounding restaurants.
Innovative ideas for producing high-quality, dry (namely dry) white wines, which were uncharacteristic of the time, have laid a great foundation for future generations and are maintained to this day.
The Knipser family never compromises on quality, so they use only their own grapes and have little need to grow and expand. And now this winery only produces up to 400,000 bottles.
Even though Germany, as well as Pfalz region are mostly known for their crisp whites. Weingut Knipser and it’s brilliant, continious experiment with international grape varieties shows the undiscovered potential of these lands.
