A new focus on Swiss wine at the Zunfthaus zur Waag

This is some text inside of a div block.

Our new Zunftwirt (guild host) Fabian Reinhardt has been working intensively on new Swiss wine partnerships in recent months. The Zunfthaus zur Waag now stocks 26 white wines from various Swiss cantons. It is particularly important to Fabian Reinhardt to bring together different winegrowers, local and indigenous grape varieties, and specialities and terroirs from various cantons on his wine list.

Lake Zurich – and rarities from Graubünden


Fabian Reinhardt grew up on Lake Zurich in Erlenbach and worked in Küsnacht for many years. So it comes as no surprise that the wine list features the wineries of Lake Zurich in particular, such as Schwarzenbach, Schipfgut, Diederik, Lüthi and Bachmann. The Chardonnay Sélection from Meilen and the Pinot Noir Barrique from Diederik, for example, have long been a fixture in our Zunftwirt's private wine cellar.
Alongside fine «everyday wines», guests at the Waag can now also enjoy a large vertical of the rare Pinot Noir Gantenbein. The Waag is probably the only place where almost all vintages between 2001 and 2019 are available.

An evolving world of wine – classics remain popular


Alongside classic local specialities such as a Bündner Completer or a Zürcher Räuschling, the Zunfthaus also stocks new trends such as the fungus-resistant Solaris from Meggen by the organic winery Sittenrain or the Sauvignon Soyhières from Rafz. But the potential is far from exhausted. More unique Swiss wine rarities will soon be found at the Zunfthaus. So it is worth taking a look at the wine list from time to time.
