Mara RARE GRAPE red

Mara is a modern Swiss red grape variety developed at the Agroscope research center in Changins. It is the result of a cross between Gamaret and Reichensteiner, designed to produce deeply colored, structured wines well-suited to both blending and single-varietal bottlings. Thanks to its thick skin and high anthocyanin content, Mara delivers intense color, firm tannins, and excellent aging potential.

In the glass, Mara wines are bold and expressive, often showing notes of dark berries, black pepper, licorice, and smoky undertones. On the palate, they are full-bodied with a robust structure, making Mara ideal for barrel aging and complex cuvées. This grape is increasingly appreciated by winemakers looking to craft characterful reds that can stand out in international markets while still reflecting Swiss precision and innovation.
