Pinot Noir Schöpfi
Tasting note
The incredible calm and harmony with which the Schöpfi combines its complex, multi-layered character is unique. Everything is in balance. It has a soft, juicy start. There is a harmonious interplay of berry extract sweetness, perfectly integrated wood, lively acidity, elegant tannins, and spicy, slightly vegetal complexity. It is delicate and elegant, yet has enormous depth and an aromatic finish.

The Pinot Noir Schöpfi vineyard is inextricably linked to our family's winemaking history. The Schöpfi Wingert is our oldest vineyard, and Johann Georg Fromm won a national award for this single-vineyard Pinot as early as 1912.

Schöpfi
In terms of its historical and familial significance, the Schöpfi vineyard is the measure of all things for our winery. Vines have been cultivated here continuously for over 1,000 years. In 2001, we replanted the entire vineyard with Burgundy Pinot Noir clones. This was our first single-vineyard Pinot Noir.
The Schöpfi vineyard is our lowest-lying vineyard. Enclosed like a Burgundian clos, it extends down to 528 metres at the bottom of the valley. To counteract erosion, river sediments have always been 'scooped up' and deposited on the plot. This is where the name comes from, as well as the high proportions of loam and sand in the soil. Johann Georg Fromm recognised the potential of this site early on. His Pinot Noir from the Schöpfi vineyard won a gold medal at a national competition in 1912. Almost a century later, Schöpfi marked the beginning of our current single-vineyard Pinot Noir venture. In 2004, we vinified the parcel planted with Burgundy clones 777 and Fin/Très Fin separately for the first time to create our first single-vineyard Pinot Noir.
