Since 2012, we have vinified the grapes from the Fidler vineyard to produce a single-vineyard Pinot Noir. The old Swiss vines consistently produce a wine with an expressive yet velvety tannin structure. The result is elegance, purity and dark fruit.

Fidler
The Fidler vineyard is located on the south-western edge of the village, directly opposite our winery and between Spielmann and Schöpfi. In 1979, Georg planted the 27-acre vineyard with an ingenious Swiss Pinot Noir clone. Which clone exactly? Only the vine gods know that now.
We find it delightful and mysterious that the Pinots from this old vineyard always have a dense yet silky-fine, typically Fidler-esque tannin profile. Is it the soil, which has a high proportion of limestone, slate and loam? Or is it the Swiss Pinot Noir vines that Georg planted in 1979, the clones of which he no longer remembers? What is clear is that the Fidler vineyard, at 535 metres above sea level, is one of our three lowest sites and is therefore strongly influenced by Rhine sediments. Since 2012, we have vinified the grapes from Fidler as a single-vineyard Pinot Noir.
