Domaine BovySt-Saphorin Optimus 2021

About this wine

The Domaine Bovy St-Saphorin Optimus 2021 is a beautiful expression of Diolinoir, a Swiss grape variety that thrives in the steep terraced vineyards of Lavaux. This wine showcases the unique character of this UNESCO World Heritage region, where vines benefit from triple sun exposure reflected off the lake and stone walls.

On the nose, you'll discover vibrant notes of red berries, particularly wild strawberries and raspberries, complemented by subtle hints of black pepper and violet. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins and a lovely freshness that makes it incredibly approachable. The finish is elegant and persistent, with a delicate spiciness that adds complexity.

This wine pairs wonderfully with Swiss specialties like beef fondue or a hearty raclette, but it's also excellent with grilled meats, mushroom risotto, or a selection of semi-hard cheeses. Serve it at around 16-17°C to fully appreciate its aromatic profile and balanced structure.
