Gantenbein Pinot Noir, Graubünden 2016

Gantenbein Pinot Noir 2016 is one of Switzerland’s most sought-after red wines, produced in tiny quantities from just five hectares in Fläsch, Graubünden. Crafted by Martha and Daniel Gantenbein, it has become a benchmark for Swiss Pinot Noir thanks to its smoky finesse, precision, and distinctly Burgundian character. Since the early 1980s, the Gantenbeins have helped redefine what Pinot Noir can achieve in German-speaking Switzerland.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, this Pinot Noir typically shows a bright ruby hue with remarkable clarity and elegance. The nose is famously smoky and layered, unfolding with notes of red cherry, wild berry fruit, earthy spice, and subtle oak complexity. On the palate, it is fresh, firm, and persistent, with fine tannins and a refined structure that gives the wine both energy and depth. Rather than leaning toward richness or jammy sweetness, it remains precise and balanced, with a long, focused finish. The 2016 vintage should continue to develop beautifully over several years, gaining further complexity with bottle age.

Viininvalmistus
The vineyards are located in Fläsch in the canton of Graubünden, where the surrounding Alps and warm foehn winds create an ideal microclimate for Pinot Noir. Grapes are harvested by hand in small boxes, then de-stemmed without crushing, with up to 20% whole bunches retained. Fermentation takes place in chilled open wooden fermenters with a long pre-fermentation cold soak, followed by punch-downs and aging for 14 to 15 months in small oak barrels before the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with duck breast, roast chicken, veal, mushroom dishes, game birds, and truffle-based recipes. It also works well with aged alpine cheeses and finely seasoned lamb. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decanting is recommended if the wine is drunk relatively young to help it open up and show its full aromatic range.

Tuottaja
Martha and Daniel Gantenbein began cultivating Pinot Noir in Fläsch in 1982 and have since earned a reputation as one of Switzerland’s most respected producers. Their focus on quality, precision, and a single flagship wine has made Gantenbein a reference name in the region. The estate’s Pinot Noir is internationally recognized and highly limited, placing it among the finest examples of Swiss and German-speaking Pinot Noir.
