Pinot Noir de Salquenen Non Filtré Oskar Mathier AOC VS

Nadia & Diego Mathier, Nouveau Salquenen AG, Salgesch

Description (detail)

Not only did he cellar his first 12,000 liters of Valais wine on the site of today's Barrique restaurant. He later built what was then a modern winery next to today's winery, which is still used today as a grape reception point. With his vision and his work, he had a decisive influence on the development of the Mathier winery in a very individual way. The fingerprint on the wine label of the Pinot Noir non filtre symbolizes this individuality and thus also corresponds to this Pinot Noir. It is bottled unfiltered and without ageing in barriques so that it can fully express its Salgesch terroir in an unmistakable way. Beautiful, intense strawberry red in the glass with a spicy nose of ripe cherries and cassis. In the mouth with a fruity attack and fine tannins that develop pleasantly on the palate. All in all, the non filtré is harmonious and balanced, the fruit of the Pinot Noir comes fully to the fore.

Words from the winemaker

What Diego Mathier says about this wine

Our story

That's why this winery is particularly close to our hearts...

Passion for wine and emotion - that describes Nadia and Diego Mathier very well in our eyes.

We not only share the values with which they run their business, namely emotion, quality, tradition, sustainability and innovation, but also a personal friendship. During our holidays, we always enjoy two or three days in Salgesch at the Mathier family's B&B and we have already been lucky enough to enjoy a glass of Grand Armagnac vintage 1914 from their private wine cellar together with the whole Mathier family.

But there are many other stories to tell: The bottling of our anniversary wine from the barrique directly at our barn, a video shoot, dinners together in fine restaurants or at the Mathier family's home - where Fernando ate the best risotto ever... And we're sure there will be more stories to come... :-)

More about the wine cellar

Adrian & Diego Mathier, Nouveau Salquenen

Ferdinand Mathier, great-grandfather of today's best Swiss winemaker of the decade, laid the foundations for the success of the family business now run by Nadia and Diego Mathier. As a dedicated vineyard inspector, he was already aware of the importance of the soil conditions, the vineyards and the microclimate in Valais at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1951, he pressed his first 12,000 liters of wine in the house where guests are now treated to regional specialties and, of course, exquisite wines from the Adrian & Diego Nouveau Salquenen AG wine cellar in the Barrique "Wine & Raclette" restaurant in the village center of Salgesch.

Adrian and Rosmarie Mathier, Diego's parents, played a pioneering role and presented their wines to countless people at numerous trade fairs in Switzerland. This was an important foundation stone for the upswing of the winery. Their tireless work was crowned in 1986 with the world championship title for the Œil-de-Perdrix.

Nadia and Diego have been running the company since 2001. With a great deal of passion and commitment, they have successfully developed the family-run business in the canton of Valais on the basis of continuity and sustainability in line with the company philosophy "Tradition, emotion, innovation and enjoyment - for generations". Countless international and national awards, including Best Swiss Winemaker of the Decade and three-time Swiss Winemaker of the Years 2018-2011-2007, as well as more than 1000 gold medals for their wines are impressive proof of this.

And perhaps the best news of all: in a wine world that will be increasingly characterized by female influences in the future, Nadia and Diego Mathier have already laid an important foundation stone for the successful continuation of the Mathier family's traditional business in their marriage with their five daughters and their future families and will continue to provide people with countless moments of pleasure with their wines in the future.

Listen in, the Mathier family will be happy to introduce themselves to you:

More about the grape variety

Pinot Noir

«King of the red wines»

Pinot Noir is by far the most widespread variety in Valais. It originated in Burgundy and was introduced by the State Council in 1848. It was introduced in 1848 by the State Council, which wanted to give a new impetus to winegrowing in the Valais, which was undergoing a fundamental transformation at the time. It found its second home on the calcareous and magnesium-rich soils of the Valais.

The Pinot Noir, precocious and equally resistant to heat and cold, is popular in the Valais. It produces wines of very different expressions, which is favoured by the great diversity of terroirs in the Valais. It can be drunk young, but age gives it dignity, nobility and distinction.
