Gantenbein Pinot Noir 2023

The Gantenbein estate in Fläsch, Switzerland, is a legend. Martha and Daniel Gantenbein produce wines here of rare precision and depth – above all their Pinot Noir, which is one of Europe’s most cult red wines. Equally impressive are their Chardonnay white wines, which captivate with Burgundian finesse and alpine freshness. Gantenbein wine stands for artisanal excellence, uncompromising selection and a clear style that reflects the terroir of Graubünden in pure form. An estate that has brought Switzerland onto the great international wine stage.

The wine region of Graubünden, often known as the Bündner Herrschaft, is considered Switzerland’s leading origin for Pinot Noir. The vineyards lie on sunny slopes along the Alpine Rhine, where a mild foehn climate, large temperature differences and limestone-rich slate and scree soils create ideal conditions. The wines are marked by finesse, clarity and lively alpine freshness. Pinot Noir in particular shows impressive elegance, fine tannins and precise red fruit. White wines such as Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc also impress with minerality and structure. Renowned producers such as Gantenbein have established Graubünden internationally as an origin for characterful, terroir-driven premium wines.
