Strawberry, herbs and a juicy acidity are making this pinot a very enjoyable drink. The alcohol is somewhat present in the nose and on the palate, but ist doesn't disturb the aromas at all. For 7€ this is a no brainer with no edges but elegant fruits. — 4 years ago

Mit 14 nicht der billige Jakob, schöner, etwas ungewöhnlicher Wein mit leichten Anklängen an ein großes Holzfass, aber deswegen ja auch gekauft — 5 years ago

Vintage 2015 / this Spätburgunder is a bit frivolous: raspberries and chocolate in smell, medium acidity, vivid. Very nice. / Paired with a Belgium dish, ballekes in tomatensaus, meatballs in tomatosauce. — 7 years ago

Ein Schläfer in Holzfass, 2002 gelesen und im großen Holzfass gereift bis April 2015, dann erst auf die Flasche gezogen. Reife Honigaromen mit Quitte in der Nase an Gaumen sehr charmant mit feiner Würze und schöner Länge — 10 years ago

2020er spontan vergorener Sylvaner, nicht so zugänglich am ersten Abend, am zweiten besser. Durch das Holzfass kommt mehr Dichtigkeit, aber es fehlt die fränkische Frische — 5 years ago

Springfontain Sauvignon Blanc skins agleam aus dem Holzfass, bzw den drittbelegten Barriques. Man mag ihn oder man mag ihn nicht.
Er ist seit 6 Monaten zusammen mit dem 14er Chardonnay der gerne genommene Wiederholungstäter unter den extrovertierten Weinen. — 5 years ago

This 2014 is a lovely Spätburgunder with lots of Burgundian character. Showy fruit on the nose (cherry, rhubarb, orange peel) with hints of anise, bergamot and baking spice. Very Chambolle-like. Outstanding. — 7 years ago

My family all opted to drink Barefoot pinot grigio, leaving this whole bottle for me. Possibly the best thing to happen all weekend — 11 years ago

Knewitz Chardonnay Holzfass 2019
Aged in used barriques and from a brilliant vintage this is a stunner!
Cool & focused on the nose with some popcorn reduction, fine herbs, a touch of toasted nuts and faint exotic fruit in the background. Enticing!
But the real magic happens on the palate - precision, depth, an electric tension between the creamy mouthfeel and the juicy, racy, mineral acidity. The limestone minerality bites through. This just begs for another sip!
Notes of sesame, fine herbs, exotic fruit - the wood adding a touch of nutty weight in the backdrop. So finely integrated. And the mineral edge towards the v. long finish
Complex yet not complicated. Elegant. Delicious. — 5 years ago

Ok. Not sure when I’m going to even taste this the nose is so good. Crunchy confectionary sugar. Perfect apricots. 10/10 intensity. Wow.

Palate is even better. You need to close your eyes to avoid sensory overload. Perfect peaches on a summers day. Dense but notthick. So bright. Not at all cloying.

This has the density and flavor profile of great auslese but it tastes more like wine if that makes any sense. Not thick. Not cloying. Not unctuous. It just is what it is and that is is amazing.

The flavor profile is what you’d expect. But what makes this special is it’s so clean and precise.

The finish is even better than a perfect peach. A perfect peach is too acidic and tooth scraping. This is just a hair shy of that level of acidity. You get that perfect fruit acid balance without the tooth pain.

A masterpiece. — 7 years ago
