Lively, understated whites with a tender palate and fresh acidity, with delicate aromas of citrus, white flowers, green apple, hay and typical mineral notes. Light and refreshing finish. Made as easy dry whites and more structured lees-aged cuvées. Star of Alsace AOC (one of the historic varieties), absolute signature of German Franconia (Silvaner on shell-limestone soils) and present in Austria and Switzerland. Central European variety of Austrian origin.
Wine canton of eastern German-speaking Switzerland (Grisons), 423 ha at the heart of the Bündner Herrschaft (Fläsch, Maienfeld, Malans, Jenins). Signature Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder, >70%): reds among the noblest in Switzerland, fine and silky with notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, sweet spices and a limestone mineral touch, delicate tannins - compared to the great Burgundies. Schistous limestone soils, a climate tempered by the foehn (warmest area of German-speaking Switzerland).
