Discover Cuvée X – the top red wine cuvée from Weingut Knipser in the Pfalz

The Weingut Knipser Cuvée X 2020 is a dry red wine cuvée made from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon, essentially a classic Bordeaux blend in the style of a Médoc, but from the Pfalz. Like no other wine, it represents the Knipser estate: a top red wine cuvée, outstanding, full of character, refusing to be constrained, a long-distance runner that opens up more and more over time and reveals its full development potential.

It was only in the 1980s that winemaker Werner Knipser "imported" the first vines from France, which was made possible for the first time by EU law at that time. Back then, when probably no one suspected what a legendary wine would one day emerge from these vines, he met with more displeasure than approval for planting Bordeaux vines in the Pfalz. Today, Cuvée X, made from vines that are now over 30 years old, is a cult wine that does not shy away from international comparison.

On the nose, Knipser Cuvée X shows fruity, sweet-tart notes of blackcurrants; on the palate, it is characterized by 24 months in new French oak barriques, yet still juicy. This red wine shows density and depth, smelling as if one were sniffing into a small leather tobacco pouch while sitting in the midst of a cedar forest after a summer rain.

A sophisticated red wine that pairs just as well with game dishes as with braised lamb or pan-seared beef.

Winemaking – Weingut Knipser

Good vineyard work is a prerequisite for the best wines, which is why Weingut Knipser takes important steps to reduce yields through short pruning in winter and green harvesting, vendage vert, in summer. The vines for this red wine cuvée grow in the best vineyards around Laumersheim, characterized by calcareous marl rock. This limestone originated from deposits of calcareous algae that formed reefs in a tropical sea during the Miocene; it is found in the subsoil of Großkarlbacher Burgweg, Laumersheimer Kirschgarten, Laumersheimer Steinbuckel, and Dirmsteiner Mandelpfadt. These sites are ideal for all grape varieties that thrive on body and benefit from well-buffered acidity.

The selective manual harvest of the grapes in 2020 already took place in several passes at the end of September to harvest optimally ripe fruit. At the winery, all grapes are destemmed, i.e., freed from their stems. First, classic mash fermentation takes place, which takes several weeks, then it is gently pressed in a tank press and, after a short settling period during which the large lees settle, it is transferred to wooden barrels. Here, malolactic fermentation then takes place, in which malic acid is converted into milder lactic acid, which gives the wine softness and a good mouthfeel. The aging in new French oak barriques lasts 24 months. Bottling took place in August before the vintage after next.
