LaSuite. The Collection.
Wines
At LaSuite, each wine has a role, much like the different movements in a musical suite. In the end, a harmonious whole emerges.
Each wine has a clearly recognizable character that transcends vintages.
As a boutique winery, we consciously produce each cuvée in small batches and work organically – on our path to regenerative agriculture. We only release our wines when they are ready to drink; therefore, not all wines shown here are always available. For priority access to rare wines and advance allocations, we recommend our wine club.
Caprice
a white wine made from 100% Alvarinho
Like its musical namesake, our Caprice was born from a creative whim – yet every detail of its vinification is meticulously crafted. Made from 100% Alvarinho grapes planted in 2016 on a small patch of sand at the edge of the forest, it ferments slowly in a glass demijohn and then matures gently on its fine lees.
On the palate, the Caprice surprises with an atypical richness for Alvarinho: salty minerality meets creamy texture, playful fruit meets cool precision. This interplay makes every tasting a joyful yet profound experience – just like a musical caprice, combining virtuoso lightness with masterful discipline.
Because our young Alvarinho plot is only 0.15 hectares in size and therefore yields correspondingly low harvests, we bottle fewer than 100 bottles annually. Caprice is available exclusively at concerts on our estate – a rare treat that we are delighted to share with you when the music begins.
INTERMEZZO
a white wine made from Sauvignon Blanc
"Intermezzo" refers to a musical interlude that often introduces new ideas and stylistic elements. Our Sauvignon Blanc "Intermezzo" is the first wine of this kind at our winery and represents innovation and
A spirit of experimentation. The vines grow on limestone soils and the wine is mainly aged in amphorae, which gives it a mineral, clear structure with intense aromas.
PRELUDE
a rosé with character
Like the opening of a musical suite, Prélude sets the tone for what's to come. A delicate salmon-colored rosé made from 100% Malbec, it opens with aromas of wild strawberry, white peach, and a hint of pink peppercorn. Its fine acidity and saline minerality make it an elegant introduction to the world of La Suite.
A wine that should be drunk cold, it can be enjoyed easily on its own, but also to accompany a BBQ with seafood.
We can only produce Prélude in years when our Malbec plots are full of juice and we can extract a little juice from our Malbec grapes after harvesting for the Prélude.
GIGUE
The Gigue typically concludes a suite – fast, lively, exhilarating. At our winery, the Gigue opens the red wine collection.
Typically made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, Gigue presents itself with juicy cherry fruit, violets, and a hint of white pepper. Minimal oak aging preserves its freshness and approachability; polished tannins make it the perfect companion to a summer BBQ just a few years after harvest.
A red wine that, served slightly chilled, prefers to dance rather than march.
SARABAND
Slow, dignified, with quiet complexity – that's how a sarabande sounds, that's how this wine tastes.
This cuvée is the heart of our winery and is made each year from all of our estate's red grape varieties. Thanks to Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec, it unfolds flavors of dark berries, cocoa, and graphite, underscored by the earthy notes of Cabernet Franc. Typically, 18 months of aging in mostly used barriques lends depth without heaviness. A multi-layered red wine that invites contemplation and gains in complexity with each passing year.
It effortlessly complements a good braised dish and doesn't require a high alcohol content or heavy oak aging. It typically reaches its first drinking window 7-8 years after harvest.
