the vintage had a good say with this year's explosive and exuberant release

the fruit for this wine was whole bunch pressed and then the juice transferred to a combination of 500-litre French puncheons and barriques for fermentation

Knipser Kalkmergel Riesling 2011 puligny-montrachet the vintage had a goodFine scent of ripe yellow fruits: peach, mirabelle and pink grapefruit. On the palate, the fruit, underlain by fine minerality and flint, continues with discreet notes of ripe yellow apples. Long and lasting on the finish. This dry Riesling is the link between the Kabinett and the Groen Gewchsen. This wine captivates one through its silkiness, body and delicate fruit.
