About the Winery
Weingut Obrecht AG operates a family winery in Jenins in the canton of Graubünden with seven hectares of vines cultivated biodynamically. The product range includes sparkling wines made by traditional bottle fermentation (Extra Brut Rosé, Brut Nature Blanc), Blanc de Noir, Chardonnay, Completer Solera as well as Monolith, complemented by accessories and merchandise items. The grape must undergoes spontaneous fermentation, partly in wooden vats from 1862, partly in steel tanks, and matures in barriques and clay vessels (Clayver Luna Solera). Approximately every six weeks, a batch of 1000 bottles of BRUT is disgorged. Sales are handled through the winery's own vinotheque, an online shop and a 24/7 self-service vending machine (ObiMat); delivery is exclusively within Switzerland and Liechtenstein. In addition, tastings, cellar tours and events are offered at the Malanserstrasse 4 location.
