Pinot Noir Eichholz 2020 — Irène Grünenfelder
This Pinot Noir Eichholz 2020 from Irène Grünenfelder embodies one of the finest and most sought-after expressions of Swiss Pinot Noir. From Graubünden, in the Bündner Herrschaft, this wine combines Alpine freshness, precise fruit and elegant texture, in a delicate, distinguished style deeply connected to its origin.
The 2020 vintage offers a pure, luminous and beautifully harmonious profile: red cherry, Morello cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, old rose, violet, fine spices, black tea, delicate forest floor, fresh earth and a subtle mineral touch. The wine favours finesse, aromatic clarity and length rather than power, with a silky, fresh and perfectly balanced palate.
A great Swiss Pinot Noir of finesse, purity and balance. Eichholz 2020 seduces through its precise red fruit, silky texture, Alpine freshness and elegantly mineral finish. A rare, subtle and refined cuvée, gracefully illustrating the potential of the finest Pinot Noirs from Graubünden.
Terroir: Graubünden, Alpine freshness and Pinot Noir precision
The vineyards of Graubünden offer Pinot Noir a cool, luminous environment ideally suited to refined expressions of the grape. Alpine influences, strong temperature shifts and well-drained soils encourage wines that are elegant, precise and aromatically pure. At Irène Grünenfelder, this identity translates into a chiselled, delicate Pinot Noir of great transparency.
