Cornalin Domaine St. Théodule - Gerald Besse

The powerful Cornalin Domaine St. Théodule from the hand of Gerald Besse flows into the glass with dense ruby red. In the glass it presents wonderfully complex notes of blackberry, sour cherry, plum and currant. Added to this are hints of blackcurrant, forest floor and redcurrant.

The Gerald Besse Cornalin Domaine St. Théodule presents itself to the wine drinker as wonderfully dry. This red wine never appears coarse or austere, as one might expect from a wine. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an extremely dense, velvety and fleshy texture. The finish of this red wine from the Valais wine-growing region ultimately convinces with a beautiful aftertaste. The finish is also accompanied by mineral facets from the clay- and sand-dominated soils.

Vinification of Gerald Besse Cornalin Domaine St. Théodule

This powerful red wine from Switzerland is made from the Cornalin grape variety. In Valais, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay and sand soils. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly brought to the press house. There they are selected and gently crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks and concrete at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine is matured for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
