The Zweigelt AOC Luzern is a true all-rounder, pairing beautifully with a wide range of dishes.
Until the 19th century, Kaiserspan was part of Heidegg Castle. Its name originates from the "Kaiser’s Bann," a hunting ground reserved exclusively for the castle’s residents and their guests. The forest clearing on August 28, 1851, marked the beginning of the Kaiserspan estate.
For decades, Kaiserspan was the only vineyard in Central Switzerland where wine was cultivated until 1957. After a long hiatus, the sunny slopes were replanted with vines in 1990, starting with 0.75 hectares. Over the following years, the cultivated area expanded to 5 hectares. Today, nearly the entire area is classified as a certified biodiversity promotion area and meets the highest quality standards (Qll).
A radiant ruby red with a touch of violet, exuding a youthful character. The bouquet is richly fruity, evoking blackberries and cherries. On the palate, a subtle fruit sweetness unfolds, paired with a pleasing creaminess. The wine is elegant, well-balanced, and concludes with a soft and full-bodied finish.
The maturation takes place in stainless steel tanks.
The vineyard is located in Gelfingen, a village that is part of the Hitzkirch municipality. From its position on a terminal moraine, it offers a charming view of Lake Baldegg.
