Gemma Pinot Noir Sapphire Natural sweet wine

AOC Valais

The spiritual significance of the sapphire lies in finding one's own truth. Just like this fine wine, which initially develops over a long period of time in oak barrels until it has found itself. It presents itself all the more beautifully with its unique, true character and delights with a complex structure, supported by a pleasant acidity.

Culinary recommendation

Perfect with desserts with chocolate and berries, e.g. a Black Forest gateau or a delicious hard cheese.

Wine history

Sapphires are well-known stones, even if the name is initially restricted to the blue variety. Sapphire is ancient Greek and means ‘blue stone’. However, this gemstone is also found in numerous other shimmering colours: green, orange, brown and pink - a variety of colours that reflects the constant changes of the seasons, to which the oak barrel containing our fine Pinot Noir Sapphire is also exposed under the open sky.

Tasting note

Deep red ruby colour, combined with a very complex nose reminiscent of red fruits and ripe plums. Warm on the palate and rounded off by the natural residual sweetness, the complex structure of this noble, unique wine is supported by a pleasant acidity. The residual sugar and solid tannins guarantee the wine good ageing potential.

Vinification

Late harvest at 140° Öchsle. Temperature-controlled fermentation on the lees.
