Wines made from Cabernet-Cubin grapes of Eastern Switzerland
Discover the best wines made with Cabernet-Cubin as a single variety or as a blend of Eastern Switzerland.
Intensely coloured and structured reds with an inky, near-black robe, firm tannins and a dense mouthfeel, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, plum, spices, black pepper and balsamic notes reminiscent of Cabernet Sauvignon. Grown mainly in Germany (Württemberg, Palatinate) for modern dry reds and tannic blends. A German hybrid created in 1970 at Weinsberg (Blaufränkisch × Cabernet Sauvignon), valued for its resistance and structure.
German-speaking Switzerland (Ostschweiz) grouping Aargau, Zurich, Schaffhausen, Thurgau, St. Gallen and Graubünden. Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder) signature red king (~70%): fine and silky with notes of red cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, dried flowers and spice, fine tannins and elegant palate — the Bündner Herrschaft (Graubünden) produces Switzerland's finest Pinots. Supple Müller-Thurgau, floral Riesling-Sylvaner, ample Chardonnay.
