Remarkable freshness, apricot and mineral, corn nut aroma, followed by youthful fruit and fruit pit, good length - all biodynamic vineyard that you take a chair lift to get to!

Needs a lot of air. But then it's a seriously good wine.

Raspberry bushes and cranberry with hints of cinnamon, basil, and warm steel on the nose; plum, cherry cola, summer berries on the palate with notes of cocoa, almonds, and slight hints of spicy bubblegum on the finish. Light bodied red with mid-weight tannins. Pretty cool and interesting especially for a gamay, should go well with a hearty fish dish or tomato-based pasta

Apricot, quince, lacking a balancing acidity

Jan 20th, 2020A good representative example of Swiss white wines from Fendant grape variety (Chasselas). Aromas of ripe peach, yellow apple, honey, acacia, sunflower seeds, cream and brioche. Good acidity for a 10-year old white wine. Aftertaste with notes of apples, hay, yellow ripe fruit.
