Pinot Noir - Eichholz Jenins 2024

Based in Jenins, in the heart of the Bündner Herrschaft, Annatina Pelizzatti has been producing distinctive, terroir-driven wines since 1997. Her small-scale estate places great emphasis on manual work and environmentally conscious viticulture. Pinot Noir is at the heart of her production, with single-vineyard expressions showcasing the diversity of Jenins’ terroirs.

Pinot Noir Eichholz Jenins AOC Graubünden is a single-vineyard wine produced from the estate’s oldest vines, planted in 1969 in the Eichholz vineyard. It combines depth and concentration with the elegance and freshness typical of fine Graubünden Pinot Noir. Ageing in a large 1,600-litre wooden cask preserves the purity of the fruit while adding structure and harmony.

Appearance: Deep, luminous ruby red with elegant garnet highlights.

Nose: Expressive aromas of ripe strawberries and red berries, complemented by delicate gingerbread and sweet spice notes.

Palate: Dense, fresh and beautifully balanced. Ripe fruit is supported by an elegant structure and fine tannins, leading to a long, harmonious and persistent finish.

Food Pairing: Excellent with red meats, game, duck breast, mushrooms, charcuterie and mature cheeses.
