A wise blend that pairs wonderfully as an aperitif, with fish dishes, and light meals.
Until the 19th century, Kaiserspan was part of the neighboring Schloss Heidegg. The name originates from the "Kaiser’s Bann," a hunting reserve exclusively for the castle's residents and guests. On August 28, 1851, the estate of Kaiserspan began to take shape with the clearing of the forest.
For decades, Kaiserspan was the only vineyard in central Switzerland, where viticulture was practiced until 1957. After a long hiatus, the sunny slopes of Kaiserspan were replanted with vines in 1990, initially covering 75 ares. The vineyard area has since been continuously expanded to 5 hectares. Nearly the entire area is designated as a certified biodiversity promotion zone, achieving the highest level of biodiversity quality (Qll).
The Kaiserin masterfully combines the qualities of these two grape varieties. With its golden hue, fruity aroma, and refined body, it exudes elegance and sophistication.
The blend is aged in stainless steel tanks.
The vineyard is situated on a terminal moraine overlooking the picturesque Lake Baldegg in the district of Gelfingen, part of the municipality of Hitzkirch.
