<br/>The deep and homogeneous, ruby colored 2018 Pinot Noir offers a pure, fresh and intense yet elegant and complex bouquet of perfectly ripe red fruits intertwined with toasty and saline or flinty notes. Silky, lush and sweet but also highly refined and elegant on the palate, this is a generous, warm, fleshy and concentrated, sweet and charming Pinot with great aging potential. This is an extraordinary Pinot from an extraordinary vintage. This is tight and tensioned, with fine and ripe but grippy tannins perfectly intertwined with crystalline salinity. Tasted at the domaine in March 2022.
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.
