Description
Pinot Noir is part of the Adank family’s DNA in Fläsch. For the Züri Pinot Noir, this Grison-based winemaking family has teamed up with Baur au Lac Vins to put Zurich grapes in the spotlight. The result is a charming red wine with typical cherry fruit, subtle notes of vanilla and hazelnut, and a juicy, supple character. True to its roots, it pairs well with both Zürcher Geschnetzeltes and Salsiz, as well as Grisons mountain cheese.

Ostschweiz
Eastern Switzerland: an intriguing puzzle
Eastern Switzerland has long been positioned on the northern rim of the climate zone where the cultivation of popular Swiss varieties is possible. Due to a warming climate, the vineyards of Aargau, Zurich, Schaffhausen, Thurgau and Graubünden are now in the zone where varieties such as Müller-Thurgau or Pinot Noir succeed excellently. But even long-established, almost-forgotten varieties such as Elbling, Räuschling and Completer are experiencing a renaissance.

Switzerland – A small country with enormous diversity
Switzerland is famous for its banks, watches, and cheese, but not necessarily for its wine. The Swiss didn't invent wine, but they have been extremely open and curious to it. Wine culture arrived in what is now modern Switzerland via several routes: from Marseilles to Lake Geneva and the Lower Valais region; from the Aosta Valley through the Great St. Bernard Pass to the rest of Valais; from the Rhone through Burgundy, across the Jura Mountains to Lake Constance; and from Lombardy to Ticino, and then on to Grisons.
