Knab Spatburgunder
$33.99
Anyone wondering what is meant by "Baden classic" should try the wines of the Rinker family. Or even list them, because there are hardly any better addresses for (upmarket) gastronomy. The traditional appearance with rather weighty, naturally corked bottles inspires confidence even in skeptics. During the tasting, we were impressed by every single wine. All of them are completely dry, wonderfully balanced between freshness and substance, the different possible uses are determined solely by the grape variety and the type of wood used.

Winemaker Sylvain Gauthier cares for his vineyards according to organic practices, yet the estate is not certified. (Sylvain plans to pursue certification in the near future, however.) Vineyards are plowed either by horse or by hand. Vineyard holdings include small, steeply graded plots in the communes Sarras, Arras-sur-Rhône, Vion, Ozon and Saint-Jean de Muzols, all located in the southern portion of the Saint-Joseph appellation. The original boundaries and villages of the Saint-Joseph appellation (drawn in 1956) are located here in the south. Sylvain also maintains parcels of Viognier. Wines are filtered but not fined.
