Cave de la Côte Uvavins

Producer description of "Schweiz Weine der Cave de la Côte in Deutschland"

The cooperative winery in the AOC area of La Côte in the Swiss canton of Vaud was founded in 1929. It is located in the middle of the appellation with inns and castles, bordered by watercourses and dry stone walls. In 2015, the company's headquarters were moved from Morges to Tolochenaz with the addition of a new winery building. The winery has built an excellent reputation through extensive research into varietal care and quality enhancement. In 2019, the winery was named Swiss Winery of the Year. More than 450 hectares of vines are cultivated by the 300 winegrowing families between Lausanne and Satigny, with around 1,000 plots. This corresponds to about a quarter of the appellation. There are now 30 grape varieties, including many new varieties or PIWI varieties, for whose cultivation the winery is doing pioneering work. The classic varieties Chasselas, Gamay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, as well as Doral, Galotta, Garanoir, Gamaret, Servagnin, Mara, Divico and Galotta are cultivated. Vinification takes place at the two sites in Nyon and Tolochenaz with state-of-the-art temperature-controlled production facilities with a total of 400 tanks. There are also wine shops at both sites, where the wines are marketed directly. The company is managed by Julien Hoefliger (CEO) and Rodrigo Banto (cellar master).

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
