Tasting note:

The von Salis Malanser Pinot Noir Spätlese Barrique presents itself in the glass with a bright ruby red colour, which already hints at its youthful vitality. On the nose, it unfolds a tantalising bouquet of ripe cherries, red berries and delicate floral notes, accompanied by a hint of spices and a fine oak note. On the palate, this Pinot is silky and elegant with a good balance between fruit, acidity and tannins. The flavours of juicy cherries and red berries continue and are complemented by nuances of dark chocolate, light smoke and subtle spices. The finely integrated tannins give the wine structure and support its long, persistent finish.

Winery von Salis:

Motivated by his enthusiasm for good wines, Andrea Davaz founded von Salis AG with two friends in 1994. For 30 years now, we have been passionate about wine and have sought out the best wines from all over the world for our customers. Over the years, we have been able to recruit over 25 highly trained employees who keep track of our constantly growing range of wines in Landquart and in the Maienfeld wine shop. We source the grapes for our own wines from over 60 winegrowers in Fläsch, Maienfeld, Jenins, Malans, Zizers and Trimmis.

The Graubünden grapes that make our von Salis wine something very special grow on more than 50 hectares there. We also cultivate around two hectares of our own vines in the Bündner Herrschaft region. As not only regionality but also nature is important to us, we pay close attention to our ecological responsibility in all processes. In addition, we not only want to produce the best wines, but also sustainably promote our unique Bündner Herrschaft region in all its diversity so that many more generations can enjoy good wines.
