Gantenbein Chardonnay - Weingut Daniel & Marta Gantenbein 2024

The Estate

On the edge of the village of Fläsch, in the Grisons Rhine Valley, stands a remarkable set of buildings amidst the vineyards: the Gantenbein Winery, where Martha and Daniel Gantenbein have been producing wine since 1982. They knew from the start that the vine was key, and thus planted Burgundy clones in their vineyards. They learned that it is vital for the grape to maintain its quality throughout its journey from vine to bottle and structured their production accordingly. The flow of grapes and juice is based on gravity, meaning that neither pumps nor filters are necessary. An area of 12.5 acres - and thus the largest part - is dedicated to Pinot Noir. Chardonnay is grown on 2.5 acres while Riesling covers an area of 0.5 acres. The "Gantenbein" is only available through a small network of wine distributors - worldwide.
