Monolith Weingut Obrecht, Jenins, AOC Graubünden 2022, 75 cl.

Vinification / aging

The Monolith reveals itself mysteriously, unfathomably, elegantly in the glass. It is the striking fusion of nature and creative craftsmanship. Biodynamic Pinot Noir grapes ferment spontaneously in wood after a period of cold storage and mature for a year in barriques, unfiltered. The Monolith fascinates with noble fullness, captivates with monumental power, lures with finely nuanced aromas and bewitches the palate with a lively finish.

History

The Obrecht winery was one of the first to bottle and sell wine in the Bündner Herrschaft. But here tradition has not become the shackle of innovation.

The sun has always been the symbol of the winery and can still be found on every bottle today.</br></br>

In 2006, Christian V. and Francisca Obrecht-Lustenberger took over almost 7 hectares of vineyards in Jenins and Malans. Both strive for harmony between plants and the environment and use the biodynamic method to do so. They are convinced that biodynamically produced wines are characterized by greater independence, typical terroir, freshness and digestibility.</br></br>

Christian and Francisca form a patent, creative winemaker couple. The well-founded training and the experience gained give them the self-confidence to look for risks or even the unconventional in the vineyard and in the cellar. "It would be a shame if your head was full of new ideas and you only stuck with the tried and tested."</br></br>
