Weingut Knipser

Domaine Knipser is located in Laumersheim, a town known for its long winemaking tradition, and owns 40 hectares of vineyards. As one of the first winemakers in the region, Heinz Knipser began bottling his own wines. Today, his sons Volker and Werner run the estate, which has seen continuous growth since then. The brothers introduced barrique vinification and increased the share of red wine grapes by sourcing classic domestic and international varieties of the highest quality. They strive to improve both the quality of their wines and the expression of the terroir. 95% of the wines are dry and made mainly from traditional grape varieties, complemented by wines from non-native varieties with a Pfalz twist. Most of their premium wines are released only after several years of bottle aging. The yields are considerably lower than the regional average to align with global premium wine producers. In 1993, their commitment to quality was rewarded with membership in the VDP, an association of German wine producers dedicated to crafting premium wines. They have also won the ‘German Red Wine’ award several times, presented by the wine magazine VINUM.
