Pure and super fine on the intense and elegant nose, the 2018 Pinot Noir "Tradition" is a first herald of the great 2018 vintage in Graubünden. It is sweet and intense yet fine and elegant on the palate, with remarkable freshness, purity and mineral foundation. This is a serious and persistent wine with a long, long finish. Dress yourself warm enough, because this is only the beginning of Martin Donatsch's Pinot world. 13% alcohol. Tasted in Zurich in December 2019. ... More details

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Whilst the Pinot Noir grape varietal has its origins in France, and is most closely associated with fine Burgundy wines, it is now grown in almost every wine producing country in the world. There are many reasons for this – the densely packed, deep black bunches of fruits are responsible for making a wide variety of excellent wines, generally agreed to be amongst the most drinkable and accessible one can find. With flavors ranging from currants and red and black berries, to more earthy, spicy notes, Pinot Noir is a versatile varietal which is revered for its relatively light body and beautifully vivid red color However, the grapes themselves are notoriously susceptible to various diseases, and struggle in fluctuating climates. This has not stopped wineries planting and cultivating these vines, though, as Pinot Noir, when grown carefully and treated properly, is a grape with a wide and increasing fan-base, and more often than not produces wonderful wines.
