The wine region of Aargau
Northern German-speaking Swiss wine canton, 380 ha on Jurassic limestone soils. Signature Pinot Noir (Blauburgunder) in Burgundian style: fine, silky reds with signature notes of cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, sweet spices and salty minerality, delicate tannins and taut freshness. Muller-Thurgau second as a lively, fruity white (apple, white flowers, light muscat). Also broad Chardonnay, fragrant Grauburgunder, opulent Gewurztraminer, red Regent.
The word of the wine: Malolactic fermentation
Called second fermentation or malo for short. It is the degradation (under the effect of bacteria) of the malic acid naturally present in the wine into milder, less aggressive lactic acid. Some producers or wineries refuse this operation by "blocking the malo" (by cold and adding SO2) to keep a maximum of acidity which carries the aromas and accentuates the sensation of freshness.
