Graubünden

Grisons is the third largest wine-growing region in Switzerland in terms of surface area and provides particularly good conditions for the vines. The mild climate and the subsoil make Grisons wines some of the most renowned in Switzerland. Calcareous slate soils bring out the best qualities of the Pinot Noir grape, while the foehn valleys where the vines are grown benefit from higher temperatures and considerably more hours of sunshine than many other regions. This combination produces soft, fruity and full-bodied, intensely concentrated red wines as well as mineral, aromatic white wines.
