On the nose, the 2019 Pinot Noir Tradition is pure, intense and elegant in its stewed cherry, red cassis and floral aromas. On the palate, this is a round and intense, very charming Pinot with a dense texture and fine but persistent structuring and clearing tannins that lead to a long, fruit-intense and crispy finish. It's quite generous but impressive in style and elegance and definitely more complex than the 2020. Like the 2019 Passion Pinot, the Tradition also represents the coolish terroir of Malans and Graubünden along with the rather coolish/classical vintage. 13.5% stated alcohol. Diam cork. Tasted in January 2022. ... More details

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is one of the planet's most widely grown and enjoyed grape varietals, and thanks to the popularity of the key wines it is associated with – Burgundy and Champagne – it has successfully spread from its native home in France to much of the wine producing world. Pinot Noir means 'black pine' in French, and this refers to the extremely dark, inky color of the fruit, and the fact that it grows in conical bunches, resembling a large pine cone. It has long been revered for its wide range of refreshing, summery flavors, and the fact that it produces red wines of a beautiful garnet color and light body. More recently, sparkling wines made exclusively with Pinot Noir have been extremely popular, and the orchard notes found in the fizzy 'blanc des noirs' wines mark out just how versatile this grape varietal really is. Despite being notoriously difficult to grow, it isn't hard to see why this grape is now found in vineyards all over the world, as it is synonymous with romance and decadence, quality and fantastic flavor
