FEATURES
🏰An Alpine original, the 2021 Aries Wines Manx is an aromatic, textured red born from a unique co-fermentation of Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Petite Arvine, reflecting a philosophy of low-intervention winemaking and pure terroir expression. Hailing from Switzerland's Valais region, this wine is the passion project of French-born winemaker Paul Boeuf, who applies strict biodynamic principles. Fermented without intervention, bottled unfiltered and unfined, and with minimal sulfur, it's a vibrant, raw-edged, and deeply expressive living wine. Awarded a 91-point DWA Score, the Manx signals Aries Wines as one of the most exciting new names in Swiss wine. It opens with an expressive nose of crushed red berries, dried rose petals, Sichuan pepper, and a whisper of Alpine herbs, with hints of wild strawberry and pomegranate framed by subtle earthiness. On the palate, Manx is vibrant and juicy, with a fine line of acidity carrying flavors of red cherry, cranberry, blood orange zest, and liquorice root, finishing with a serious mineral grip—pure, chalky, and mouth-watering.
🍴 Given its Alpine origin and red fruit/herbaceous notes, this wine would pair beautifully with lighter game, charcuterie boards, mushroom dishes, roasted chicken with herbs, or even some hard Alpine cheeses. Its vibrant character also makes it suitable for rustic, flavorful preparations.
🥂 Perfect for adventurous wine drinkers, casual gatherings, or for those looking to explore unique regional wines. It's definitely a conversation starter that showcases innovation and tradition.
Serving suggestion: Serve at cellar temperature, around 14-16°C, to allow its complex aromatics to shine.
