In 2016, the award went to Adrian &amp; Diego Mathier Nouveau Salquenen AG from Salgesch. In 2026, the winner is once again Diego Mathier.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former banker, whose winemaker, C\u00e9dric Leyat, is a true genius, runs the business together with his wife, Nadia. His five daughters are expected to follow in his footsteps. The successful defense of the first title won in 2016 marks another milestone in the history of this large estate, which produces well over a million bottles of wine per year.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A \u201cWinery of the Year\u201d was also named. And it became clear that Valais has a firm grip on this top competition for Swiss wines. The last time a winery not from the Rh\u00f4ne canton won was in 2021.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, the winners have been Cave du Rhodan from Salgesch, Kellerei Leukersonne (now Weingut Seewer) from Susten\u2014twice\u2014and Cave la Romaine from Flanthey. All of these are wineries in Valais, by far the largest wine-producing canton. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, Domaine Claudy Clavien was presented with the trophy yesterday at the gala held at the Kursaal in Bern in front of 600 guests. The winery from Mi\u00e8ge, located above Siders, impressed the judges with two category wins, a second-place finish, and another wine that made it to the finals. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find out more here<\/h2>\n\n<style>\n  \/* Default-Gr\u00f6sse f\u00fcr sehr kleine Bildschirme *\/\n  .calameo-frame {\n    width: 100%;\n    height: 250px; \/* Kleinste Standardh\u00f6he *\/\n    border: none;\n    display: block;\n    margin: 0 auto;\n  }\n\n  @media (min-width: 480px) {\n    \/* Medium - ab 480px *\/\n    .calameo-frame {\n      height: 300px;\n    }\n  }\n\n  @media (min-width: 560px) {\n    \/* Large - ab 560px *\/\n    .calameo-frame {\n      height: 350px;\n    }\n  }\n\n  @media (min-width: 640px) {\n    \/* Extra Large - ab 640px *\/\n    .calameo-frame {\n      height: 400px;\n    }\n  }\n\n  @media (min-width: 720px) {\n    \/* XXL - ab 720px *\/\n    .calameo-frame {\n      height: 450px;\n    }\n  }\n\n  @media (min-width: 800px) {\n    \/* XXXL - ab 800px *\/\n    .calameo-frame {\n      height: 500px;\n    }\n  }\n<\/style>\n\n<!-- iFrame mit Media Query responsive Gr\u00f6ssen -->\n<iframe class=\"calameo-frame\" src=\"https:\/\/v.calameo.com\/?bkcode=00611519987fa5b197713&#038;mode=mini&#038;clickto=view&#038;clicktarget=_blank\" allowtransparency=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nadia and Diego Mathier run the winery of the decade<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":20453,"template":"","aktuelles-type":[299],"class_list":["post-20455","aktuelles","type-aktuelles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","aktuelles-type-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/aktuelles\/20455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/aktuelles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/aktuelles"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20453"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20455"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"aktuelles-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mathier.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/aktuelles-type?post=20455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
