Words from the winemaker

What Manfred and Damian say about this wine

Argentinian inspiration por favour, to go with a beef barbecue!

Our story

What connects us with this winery...

We simply love drinking wine from the Cina brothers. Every one we've tasted so far... ;-) But not only that, we have also had many good conversations and we share the same attitude: "Only those who trust their visions can change reality. Because visions are what move us forward." And as luck would have it, we remodelled our restaurant and they remodelled their wine cellar at virtually the same time - during Corona, in 2020. If you haven't seen the cellar yet, it's definitely worth a visit!

Fernand Cina SA

Hard-working and complementary are the adjectives used to describe the brothers Cina, Manfred and Damian. Both studied viticulture and oenology, but above all learned the trade. From a very young age with their parents Fernand & Rose-Marie, Saturdays were spent in the vineyard rather than on the football pitch with friends. Despite the hard work, Manfred and Damian saw the great development potential of their father's business early on and rightly envisioned a promising future.

The Cina brothers have been working in their business for more than 30 years, surrounded by a meticulous and enthusiastic team. Their motives? Always one step ahead, producing excellent wines, developing innovative grape varieties in Valais, being positive and, above all, close to the customer. The winery is known for its diverse range of specialties. They cultivate an exceptionally large number of grape varieties on 20 hectares of their own vineyards, which enables them to offer around 40 different wines.

In their work in the vineyard, they focus on natural and quality-oriented care of the vines. The work in the vines is the most important activity in the annual calendar and forms the basic building block for high-quality wine. From the vine to vinification and bottling, the two brothers cultivate the wine with great dedication. Wine production is far more than just a job for them, it is a passion and a pleasure for both of them to marvel at this phenomenon every year and to be a part of it.

Malbec

«Spicy and fruity, lively and elegant»

From the original French to the typical Argentine: Malbec is one of the six grape varieties permitted for the famous Bordeaux red wines. In the meantime, however, it is considered more of a typical Argentinian grape variety. Compared to the 3'500 hectares of vineyards that Malbec occupies in France, the grape variety is cultivated on over 24'000 hectares in Argentina. 

The almost purple-black Malbec wines are appreciated for their fruity spiciness, often with typical plum and tobacco notes. Hints of blueberries, laurel, juniper, spices, cherries and bitter chocolate are also possible.
