Weingut Knewitz GbR
About us
Our family has been making wine in Appenheim since the 19th century. Tobias took over the estate from his father in 2007 and has been running it together with his wife Corina and his brother Björn since 2015.
Our vineyard area (25 ha) is located in the Welzbachtal: a small valley protected from the Rhine by the slopes of the Westerberg - a prehistoric coral reef that formed 40 million years ago.
Grown mainly on limestone, our main goal is to produce wines of the highest quality that reflect the terroir and our origin.
In 2022, we were honored to join the VDP. We mainly produce Riesling (Grand Cru, Premier Cru single vineyards) - our preferred grape variety to show the potential of the soil - and Chardonnay as well as Pinot Noir (Premier Cru).

Grown on limestone and iron ore, this wine shines star-bright with pale yellow hues. You can already taste its full aromatic potential with apricot, pear, quince and lemon peel on the palate as well as lemon balm, flint and a smoky spice in the nose. Made dry and crisp, with a lively acidity and truly juicy flavors. A slender Riesling, with a thrilling linear momentum across the palate. Elegant tannins establish a textured finish graced with a delicious fruit concentration on the finale.

APPENHEIM Riesling dry - Village wine
Grown on limestone, this Riesling shines in a starbright yellow with pale green hues in the glass. The nose opens with aromas of citrus zest, elderberry flower, apple, pear and a subtle chalkiness, as well as bayberry and mint. It leans dry on the palate, with a silky texture. Harmonious acidity and a persistent minerality confer with concentrated fruit and a cool, refreshing finish. A medium-bodied, complex Riesling that concludes with impressions of tremendous minerality and a creamy finish.

CHARDONNAY dry - Estate wine
A Chardonnay with deep yellow shades and high viscosity. The complex aromatics open with dominant notes of buttered toast even as melon, apple, nut butter and vanilla. Dry with a velvety texture on the palate. Delightfully fresh acidity, concentrated flavors with a creamy finish. A beautiful balance between maturity and acidity, with a barrel influence that structures the wine without confining or compromising its character.
