DONATSCH COMPLETER "MALANSERREBE"
The Completer “Malanserrebe” is a rare, ancient native white grape revived by Domaine Donatsch in Malans, traditionally harvested late (mid‑November) and fermented/aged in used barrels to produce a concentrated, mineral‑driven white with a fascinating interplay of sweetness and acidity unique to this historic Graubünden variety.
