The wine region of Graubünden
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).
The word of the wine: Black Grenache
Grenache is a black grape variety that originated in Spain and is one of the great quality varieties of southern France. Sometimes vinified on its own, it is most often blended with one or more other Rhone or southern grape varieties with complementary qualities such as Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan or Cinsault. Its wines are warm, with aromas of red fruits (cherry) and spices; they oxidize with time. Vinified alone or in very large proportions, Grenache Noir also makes great natural sweet wines in Roussillon (Rivesaltes, Banyuls, Maury) and in the Rhône Valley (Rasteau).
