Domaine Donatsch Malanser Pinot Noir Unique 2021

Domaine Donatsch Malanser Pinot Noir Unique 2021 combines the characteristic terroir of the Malans vineyard in Graubünden with the refined Pinot Noir tradition of the Domaine Donatsch winery. The 2021 vintage impresses with its freshness, delicate fruit, and elegant structure, giving the Unique label its distinctive character. The wine's special quality lies in its precise minerality, derived from calcareous soils, combined with careful vinification that preserves fruit intensity while simultaneously creating complexity. The winery is considered one of the region's traditional producers, working with a clear signature style and making the terroir palpable in every bottle. Critics such as Falstaff, Parker, Jancis Robinson, Jeff Leve, and Wine Spectator regularly praise the balance of this Pinot Noir and its significant aging potential, giving Unique a unique position within the estate's portfolio.

On the palate, it displays a ruby ​​red color, with seductive aromas of cherries, red berries, delicate rose root, and a subtle spiciness, all underpinned by fine minerality. Elegant and precise, it boasts well-integrated tannins, vibrant acidity, and a lingering, aromatic finish. Optimal drinking window is expected from 2024 onwards and will extend into the early 2030s. Pairings include dishes such as roast duck, porcini risotto, lamb fillet, or aged cheeses, which harmoniously complement the wine's fruit, structure, and minerality.
