Uwe Schneider:
A Munich resident who is training to become a wine academic? Not quite an everyday occurrence, but Uwe Schneider is certainly not. He then started working for the gifted Thomas Mattmann from the Cicero winery in Zizers as a temporary assistant. At the tender age of 40, he decided to do an apprenticeship as a winemaker. After Mattmann's death, he became operations manager at Cicero until its closure.
He currently cultivates plots of land in Zizers according to organic guidelines. The wines are vinified for himself and a handful of customers in a wine cellar in Zizers. He utilises the full potential of the terroir. The results are outstanding wines, such as the Pinot Noir "Felder" and the Chardonnay.
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.
