2022 Knewitz "Goldberg Erste Lage Trocken" Riesling, Rheinhessen, Germany
ABOUT THIS WINE
Very elegant in spite of its impressive concentration, this medium-bodied dry riesling is a refined expression of Rheinhessen's Burgundian side. The white peach and red apple aromas are subtly underlain by wonderful herbal and leesy complexity in the long, stony finish. From organically grown grapes. Vinified completely in large neutral oak.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
The Knewitz family has been making wine in Appenheim since the 19th century, but it was Erwin and Magdalena Knewitz who built the estate and their son Gerold who started estate bottling wines for the first time in 1976. Over time, this small estate grew from just 5 hectares to 15 by the middle of the 2000s. Gerold’s son Tobias trained as a winemaker at Geisenheim and took over the Domaine in 2007. Tobias’ wife Corina and brother Björn joined him shortly after. Today, they farm 25 hectares spread over three main villages: Appenheim, Gau-Algesheim, and Nider-Hilbersheim. Their tireless work, concentrating on producing wines of the highest possible quality led to an invitation to join the VDP in 2022.
