Description

The Garanoir AOC Wallis is an exceptional Swiss red wine that masterfully showcases the deep colour and rich, spicy complexity of this unique alpine crossing. Expertly produced by the historic Caves du Paradis estate in the sun-drenched valleys of the Wallis (Valais) canton, this authentic bottle highlights a grape variety specifically bred to thrive in challenging high-altitude environments. The vines absorb intense mountain sunshine on steep stone terraces over deep glacial mineral soils, giving birth to a bold and deeply expressive red wine with an unmatched alpine character.

In the glass, this premium 2016 vintage exhibits a stunning, very dark colour with intense ruby reflections. The bouquet opens with a complicated yet inviting flavour profile, bursting with rich notes of juicy blackberry, ripe black cherry, and a distinct aroma of freshly cracked black pepper. Clocking in at a perfectly balanced 13% alcohol by volume, it features remarkably smooth, integrated tannins and a harmonious structure that coats the palate with a velvet-like texture. This independent selection possesses a fantastic cellaring potential, built to mature beautifully over a peak ripeness window of 5 to 7 years.

Food Pairing:
With its spicy profile and structured tannins, this premium Garanoir is a phenomenal asset for upscale dining environments. It pairs magnificently with savory grilled meat, tender rack of lamb, and rich poultry meat dishes. It also serves as a world-class companion for traditional European cheese platters and aged gourmet cheeses. To enjoy its full alpine depth and complex aromatics, serve at a preferred chilled cellar temperature of 14 °C.
