Attila Florian:

After years in the catering trade as a sommelier, Attila began cultivating the first parcel (old vines) in 2015.

Over the years, Attila gained more and more knowledge and experience in viticulture and vinification in the Torkel.

What started out as one plot has now become 5 plots of Pinot and Sauvignon Blanc. The plots are cultivated according to organic guidelines and are passionately tended and cared for.

Bündner Herrschaft:

Often referred to as the "Burgundy of Switzerland", this wine-growing region regularly produces top wines that enjoy worldwide recognition. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are particularly noteworthy.

80 per cent of the vineyards in the Bündner Herrschaft (approx. 400 hectares) are planted with red grape varieties, mainly Pinot Noir, which thrives particularly well on the limestone and slate soils of the Herrschaft. The conditions for Pinot Noir are absolutely outstanding. Permeable gravel, sand and slate soils, interspersed with limestone, prevail here.

The topography is ideal, and the high day-night temperature differences further enhance the elegance of the wines. During the day, the weather in the Herrschaft is characterised by plenty of sunshine and often strong foehn winds. This allows the grapes to ripen perfectly, but at night it gets quite cold due to the downdraughts from the mountains, with high temperature differences to the hot days. The berries retain their acidity thanks to this night-time coolness and the wines are not too rich.

Due to this special microclimate, Herrschäftler Pinot Noirs appear somewhat cooler than those of Burgundy, are racier and finer and less full and dense.
