Structured, colourful reds with a dense purple robe and firm tannins, featuring aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, spices and peppery notes. Fresh acidity, good performance in oak ageing. Made as a single-variety ageing wine and in many premium Swiss blends with Garanoir, Gamay and Pinot Noir. Star of modern reds from Vaud, Geneva and Valais. A Gamay × Reichensteiner cross created in 1970 at the Pully research station (Switzerland).
Wine canton of northern German-speaking Switzerland, nicknamed "Blauburgunderland". Signature Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder, 60-70%): fine, silky reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, sweet spices and a chalky mineral touch, delicate tannins and taut freshness — compared to fine village Burgundies. Klettgau is the flagship sub-region. Müller-Thurgau whites (local Riesling-Silvaner) lively and fruity (apple, citrus).
