Discover the best wines made with Diolinoir as a single variety or as a blend of Bielersee.
Deeply coloured, structured reds with a dense purple robe, smooth tannins and fresh acidity, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, soft spice and floral notes. Round palate, fruity finish. Vinified as single varietal and in modern red blends in French-speaking Switzerland (Valais, Vaud, Geneva), contributing colour and structure to contemporary cuvées. Swiss variety created in 1970 at the Pully station, a red cross of Diolly × Pinot Noir.
Swiss vineyard on steep slopes around Lake Biel, micro-climate tempered by the water and 70+ grape varieties. Signature Chasselas reigns in white: mineral and nervy with signature notes of white flowers, citrus, white apple, flint and a lakeside saline touch, taut, thirst-quenching palate — the Bernese soul as aperitif or with cheese. Fine, silky Pinot Noir (red cherry, undergrowth). Ample Pinot Gris (pear, honey), fresh Chardonnay, straight Pinot Blanc.
