Discover the best wines made with Cabernet-Jura as a single variety or as a blend of Zug.
Coloured, structured reds with a deep ruby robe, firm tannins and fresh acidity, showing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, red pepper, spices, herbs and balsamic notes evoking cabernet sauvignon. Disease-resistant interspecific variety (mildew and powdery mildew), driving force of organic vineyards in northern Europe: Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, UK and Denmark. Hybrid created in the 1990s by Valentin Blattner in Soyhières (Swiss Jura).
Confidential vineyard of central Switzerland (~10 ha around Lake Zug, temperate microclimate and foehn), morainic, limestone and molasse soils. Modern Piwi varieties (Johanniter and Cabernet Jura) as bio-friendly signature whites and reds — bright citrus, white flowers and green apple for whites; cherry, raspberry and a fresh herbal touch for reds. Riesling-Sylvaner and Pinot Noir as complements. Vineyard collar around the lake, Alpine artisanal identity.
