Caves du Paradis : Avalanche Pinot Noir 2022

A remarkably elegant and balanced Swiss Pinot Noir

The estate

"Give to time, time": this quote by Miguel de Cervantès could not better illsutrate the philosophy of the famous Caves du Paradis. According to the Roten family, owners of this illustrious 10-hectare estate, it is essential to understand the rhythm of the land to present wines with a formidable symphony of flavours. A symphony today carried on by Olivier Roten, who brilliantly magnifies his grandfather’s legacy.

The vineyard

True to the mountainous landscapes of Switzerland, the vineyards of the Valais are characterised by their steep terraces, with impressive and vertiginous slopes. The diversity of this remarkable environment and the climate that makes it up promise grapes of remarkable ripeness. Indeed, the Foehn, a warm wind from the Alps, plays a major role in the development of the grapes in the Valais vineyards.

Avalanche Pinot Noir 2022 is produced on the slopes of Sierre and Salquenen, at an altitude of 550 to 800 metres. On the top of these vertiginous terraces, the vines are about thirty years old.
