The refined

Pinot Noir Barrique

AOC Schaffhausen
Some things take years to find themselves – this Pinot Noir simply did. With calmness, maturity and a hint of wood, it shows how relaxed character can be. Perfect for those who like to talk, but prefer to pour another glass. A wine for evenings without a clock and conversations without an end.

Culinary recommendation
chevron-down

Pairs excellently with air-dried meat, beef, veal, lamb and game, as well as spicy grilled meats. An ideal accompaniment to dishes full of character.

Wine history
chevron-down

‘Aagne’ means ‘unique’ in dialect – and that is precisely what characterises these wines: self-assured, unmistakable and firmly rooted in their origins.

In Schaffhausen's Klettgau region, protected by the Black Forest and nestled in the foothills of the Jura mountains, the conditions are ideal for winegrowing: calcareous soils interspersed with loam and clay, and a mild, dry climate. The foundation of everything we do is our passion for the vine – combined with our commitment to making the origin tangible and the quality perceptible.

Tasting note
chevron-down

This Pinot Noir is a deep ruby red in colour and develops ripe, fruity aromas with notes of plum and dark cherry. Fine toasted aromas and a hint of dark chocolate add extra depth. On the palate, it is structured with fine-grained tannins, balanced acidity and a long, smooth finish.

Vinification
chevron-down

Targeted yield control and late harvesting lay the foundation for a concentrated and complex Pinot Noir. The mash undergoes an extended resting period before and after temperature-controlled, intensive fermentation. Malolactic fermentation follows. The wine is aged for 12 to 14 months in first- to third-use barriques. After careful filtration, the wine is bottled after a total of 20 to 22 months of maturation.
