Producer: Komminoth Weine, Maienfeld
Since the Komminoth family produced their first wine in Maienfeld in 1980, the passion for wines from the Bündner Herrschaft has never wavered. Year after year, the quality of the wines has been refined with great dedication. Today, Komminoth is considered one of the finest addresses in the Bündner Herrschaft. Around 4.6 hectares of vineyards are cultivated. Paul Komminoth vinifies each parcel separately, aiming for full-bodied, structured wines that can also age gracefully – through careful handwork, respect for nature and an intense connection to the vines.
The Bündner Herrschaft around Maienfeld, Jenins, Malans and Fläsch benefits from a unique microclimate: warm foehn winds, sun-drenched slopes and cool alpine nights create ideal conditions for aromatically ripe yet elegantly fresh red wines. The alpine terroir lends the wines a mineral depth that is unmatched in Switzerland.
