Von frischem Wind und Tradition

Anyone hearing the attributes "old East Frisian noble family" and "owned by the estate since 1818" would never suspect that contemporary wines of the highest quality are produced in the middle of the Rheingau. And yet the eighth generation of the zu Knyphausen winery has brought a breath of fresh air into the cellars: Frederik zu Knyphausen and his team use the knowledge of the vineyard and cellar that they have acquired over the centuries to produce stylistically modern and classically elegant top wines from the best grapes. The latest stroke of genius, knyp, is a prime example of Riesling from the Rheingau with its perfect harmony of noticeable residual sweetness and fine acidity structure. knyp is pure drinking pleasure in a contemporary, high-quality style. Even the winery, the Draiser Hof, regularly sings new songs. Driven by the family's second passion, music, Frederik's brother Gisbert organizes the annual "Heimspiel Knyphausen", which gives the old estate a new lease of life and allows the wines to be experienced with all the senses. Can tradition, family, origin and modernity be brought together even more beautifully?
