Can I just add that all this talk about Swabian food has made me really hungry? On the subject of Knipser, I do actually consider them one of Germany's most interesting producers - partly because of the reason Julian mentioned, but also because of some really interesting things they do with white wine, such as fantastic Chardonny or featuring Gelber Orleans. It does seem though that I was luckier with my 2009 whites than Julian, because so far I have been very happy with the vintage.
Thanks to both for the comments, and especially Julian for featuring the Swabian epiphany. I do now find myself humming "Brothers in Arms" while cycling, but so far no Swabian mountains have appeared in London. Or mist, for that matter. A Swabian can dream though...
