Räuschling native local specialty (lake vine): lively mineral white. Supple Müller-Thurgau, ample Chardonnay, aromatic Gewürztraminer.
The wine region of Zürich
Largest German-speaking wine canton of Switzerland, 620 ha around the lake. Star Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder): fine, fresh reds with notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth and sweet spices, silky tannins and a delicate style. Also light, floral Müller-Thurgau and precise Chardonnay. A unique speciality: Räuschling, a rare native white almost exclusive to the canton ("vine of the lake"), lively with citrus, white flowers and taut minerality.
The word of the wine: Barrel
