Aufhellendes Rubin-Granat, relativ transparent. Genial würziges Bouquet, generell mehr Würze wie Frucht zeigend, beginnt mit süssen, dunklen Pflaumen, dann zeigt er Nelkenschimmer, Thuja und Rosenholz, er gibt sich offen im Ansatz. Im Gaumen beginnt sich die frühere markante Säure jetzt viel besser zu integrieren, der schlanke Körper hat gewisse Muskeln. Ein etwas asketischer Pinot Noir mit Charakter.

The 2010 Pinot Noir is another generous and fruity red that intermixes ripe and cooked red berry flavors with crystalline and lemony slate notes. Pure but intense and ripe, the palate is silky, very elegant and refined, with good intensity and crystalline salinity. It is slightly drying on the finish, though, as if the seeds were a bit brittle. The aftertaste is lush, aromatic and pretty juicy but fine. Tasted in November 2018.
Producer
Gantenbein
Along the breathtaking Rhine Valley of Grisons, the Gantenbein winery is found in the small wine-growing village of Fläsch. Founded in 1982 by Martha and Daniel Gantenbein, they began by planting their 6-hectare estate with Burgundy clones. Today the property is predominately dedicated to Pinot Noir production, while much smaller areas are devoted to Chardonnay and Riesling growth. Martha and Daniel agreed early on that quality was key – therefore meticulous viticulture and vinification processes are followed. They even use gravity-feed tanks, where the flow of the grapes and the juice is regulated by the earth’s natural pressure without the need of pumps or filters. Along with their top Pinot Noirs, the estate also crafts two smaller production wines of Riesling and Chardonnay.
