"We can't just wave the Swiss flag and hope that our wines will sell themselves. We have to be ready and make great wines." This is the motto of Daniel Gantenbei, a top winemaker from Graubünden. Especially in the so-called Heidiland, the area between Malans and Fläsch in the Bündner Herrschaft, you can feel the spirit of optimism. Not so long ago, the urban wine connoisseur of the world would turn up his nose at Swiss wine. If they heard the word "Pinot Noir" or "Blauburgunder", they would completely turn up their noses. Things are different today. More and more winegrowers are making an effort to build on quality rather than quantity and suddenly, according to the first trend scouts from the wine journalism department, a future star has been identified in the European wine firmament.
