Pinot Noir Pinot Noir is a light-bodied red grape that’s all about freshness and subtle flavours. Expect tastes like red cherries, strawberries, and sometimes a hint of earthiness. It’s got decent acidity, which keeps it lively and food-friendly. The tannins are soft, so it’s easy to drink, even if you’re not a big red wine fan. Pinot Noir is popular for lighter reds and is also big in making sparkling wines like Champagne. Great with chicken, salmon, and lighter dishes.
Gantenbein Gantenbein is a small, hands-on winery in Graubunden, Switzerland, run by husband-and-wife team Martha and Daniel Gantenbein. They focus mainly on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, making tiny amounts with a lot of attention to detail. Everything here is about doing things right, without any shortcuts. These wines aren’t cheap, and they’re not easy to find, but people who know their stuff rate them among the best in Switzerland. Their style is clean, pure, and precise—think classic Burgundy, but with a Swiss twist. If you want to try Swiss wine at the top level, Gantenbein should be on your list.
Graubunden Graubünden is Switzerland’s easternmost wine region, mostly tucked up in the Alps near the border with Austria. It’s small but serious, known especially for Pinot Noir—locally called Blauburgunder—which thrives in the cool, sunny climate. Expect reds that are lighter, fresh, and easy to drink, not heavy or oaky. Some good whites come out of here too, especially crisp Chardonnays and aromatic Pinot Gris. Overall, Graubünden’s wines are about pure, bright fruit, not heavy-handed winemaking. If you’re after Swiss wine that’s actually worth tracking down, Graubünden is where to start.
Switzerland Switzerland makes wine, but most of it never leaves the country—locals drink nearly all of it. The main wine regions are around Lake Geneva (Vaud, Valais), with smaller areas in Ticino and the German-speaking north. White wine rules here, especially from the Chasselas grape, which is crisp and easy-drinking. For reds, Pinot Noir is the go-to, plus a few local oddities like Gamay and Merlot in the south. Swiss wines are generally fresh, light, and made for drinking now, not hoarding.
