jeninser 2022

My Jeninser AOC tastes different from the wines typically produced in the “Bündner Herrschaft” in northern Grisons. And yet, it contains the full vigour of this unique area. To make this wine, I exclusively use grapes from my own vineyard, beautifully situated in the village centre of Jenins.

The intensely aromatic Gamaret grapes grow here – besides the more traditional Pinot Noir. Gamaret is a variety from Western Switzerland that is seldom grown in the “Bündner Herrschaft“, as Pinot Noir tends to be the unchallenged leader here.

After harvest, the dark Gamaret grapes are carefully dried in the fresh mountain air for several weeks. A lot of art craft goes into the production of jeninser as well as all my passion and joy – and a year’s worth of unpredictable weather. The roots remain, while the wine’s rich fullness is renewed with every vintage.
