The wine region of St. Gallen
Wine canton of German-speaking Switzerland in the Rhine valley, ~200 ha at 70% reds. Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder) flagship red: fine and silky with signature notes of red cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, dried flowers and spice touch, fine tannins and elegant palate — fresh alpine expression. Supple Müller-Thurgau as white (Riesling x Madeleine Royale, created locally), taut Riesling, ample Chardonnay. Climate tempered by alpine foehn.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
