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: Phenolic ripeness
A distinction is made between the ripeness of sugars and acids and the ripeness of tannins and other compounds such as anthocyanins and tannins, which will bring structure and colour. Grapes can be measured at 13° potential without having reached this phenolic maturity. Vinified at this stage, they will give hard, astringent wines, without charm.
