Tasting note
Vibrant cherry juice appearance. Fabulous aromas, with masses of concentration - black cherry liqueur, liquorice, black truffle, toasty oak, grilled steak, fresh leaves and the scent of hot tarmac just after a summer rain shower. Before you even taste it, you can tell that this is an awesome Pinot, reminiscent of Grand Cru Burgundy from a ripe vintage. It is rich and ripe, but at the same time it has real tightness and focus. It's controlled and defined; precise, while being irresistibly delicious. It has a fine, velvety, dense, packed tannin structure, and balancing acidity that holds everything together without getting in the way.
Viticulture
Knipser cultivates the prime section of the Großkarlbacher Burgweg vineyard: the "Im großen Garten" parcel. It is a sheltered, relatively steep south-facing slope in the Eckbach Valley. The soil is heavy clay interspersed with countless limestone fragments, resting on the limestone bedrock into which the Eckbach stream has carved its path over millennia.
Vinification
The wine is aged for 20 months in new French oak barriques.
