Graubunden
Graubunden (Grisons)
Located in the far east of Switzerland, bordering Liechtenstein and Austria, Graubunden is a relatively minor region in terms of quantity produced, yet contains several significant wine-growing sub-zones. By far the most important of these is the
Bündner Herrschaft
, just south of Liechtenstein, whose vineyards are located in the communes of Maienfeld, Jenins, Malans, and Fläsch. At altitudes between 500-600 metres, these rank amongst the best vineyards in Eastern Switzerland, enjoying a beneficial climate resulting from excellent southern exposure, protection from northerly winds offered by the Rätikon Mountains, and the warm
foehn
winds from the south. Autumns here are long, and there is very little frost. The predominant grape variety grown in the Bündner Herrschaft is Pinot Noir, which makes wine in a range of styles from soft and fruity through to powerful oak-aged examples, all with distinct regional character. Tiny amounts of Syrah are also grown. A variety of excellent whites are made, and of particular note are the Pinot Blanc (Weissburgunder), Pinot Gris, and Sauvignon Blanc. The Bündner Herrschaft is also a particularly beautiful region, with dramatic mountain scenery a backdrop to steep terraced vineyards leading down to flatter land on which are grown other crops including maize and asparagus, and picture-postcard mediaeval villages. This would be a particularly fine place to spend a few days, making use of the attractive hiking and cycle paths which connect the villages to potter around exploring the vineyards and visiting cellars along the way to taste the fine wines on offer.
