Our discoveries

White - Chasselas

Popular in Valais, this white is called Fendant here - because its skin splits ("se fend") under the fingers when it is ripe. Often lightly carbonated, it always seems cheerful, wholesome and elegant on the palate. Floral notes of lime blossom underline this impression. Sometimes it even comes across as fruity and mineral. Its fruity aromas are reminiscent of lemons or ripe apples. The Fendant is the aperitif wine par excellence!

White - Johannisberg

Also known as Sylvaner. Get ready for nuances of herbal tea and seductive notes of fruit and almond aromas. If the grapes are harvested when very ripe, the fruit tends towards pineapple. A mild wine for aperitifs or with asparagus.

White - Petite Arvine

Petite Arvine is the great white wine of the Valais with an international reputation. What is special about it is its floral notes of wisteria, gentian, which are rounded off with fine fruit aromas. One can often taste rhubarb and a slight acidity. A subtle salty taste accompanies this harmonious composition and is the trademark of Petite Arvine.

White - Amigne

Sweet or dry; Amigne has great aging potential. Let yourself be carried away by aromas of blood orange peel, tangerines and clementines. Full-bodied, rich, often slightly filigree, it knows how to charm you. Its good acidity and light tannins, give it the appropriate support to poultry pâté and foie gras.

White - Pinot Gris

Pinot gris, or Pinot gris, is a white grape variety that produces wines that are full of character and at the same time golden yellow in color with low acidity.

White - Muscat

It is rumored that the Muscat grape is the mother of all European grape varieties. What is certain is that it is one of the oldest white wine varieties in the world. The sweetness and spiciness of the Muscat grape can be guessed from the moment it is picked and consumed. This is what pleasure tastes like in a glass.

White - Heida

Heida (called Païen in Lower Valais) is the name for the white wine made from the Savagnin variety. Incidentally, a mutation of this variety is Gewürztraminer. Its name indicates a descent from Christianization. On the slopes of the Visperterminen, the Heida grows up to an altitude of 1,100 meters, making this one of the highest wine regions in Europe.

White - Gewürztraminer

The origin of the spice traminer is unclear, probably southeastern Europe or Egypt. In Valais, the white variety feels at home. The name comes from Tramin in South Tyrol, where wines have been documented under this name since the 11th century. Gewürztraminer produces an aromatic wine with a fragrance reminiscent of rose petals and lychee.

White - Autochthonous varieties

These are the grape varieties that grow where they originated. The word autochthonous means: native, long-established, grown together and rooted in the homeland. Because old-established grape varieties are often more laborious to grow, yield less, or are more susceptible to disease, many of them are now found only on very small acreages.

Red - Merlot

Merlot is grown in all the major wine-producing countries and, of course, has also become native to Valais. It loves loamy soils at the foot of the slopes. It owes its success to its beautiful dark robe with violet hues, its vinous character and its aromas of wild berries and chocolate. Vinified alone, Merlot makes very charming wines.
blends it gives a smooth texture.

Red - Gamaret

Gamaret or Garanoir? Both are correct!The Swiss variety Garanoir (new Gamaret), bred only in 1970, is a cross between the red variety Gamay and the white variety Reichensteiner. However, for legal reasons, the name Garanoir may no longer be used. It produces a powerful wine with a mild taste and blackberry aromas. Thanks to its low acidity, it is very digestible.

Red - Malbec

Malbec is an old French red wine variety. Under the historical name of Côt, it used to be grown in 30 departments, which is why almost 400 synonyms for it were in use. Appreciated for their fruity spiciness, the almost purple-black Malbec wines often have typical plum and tobacco notes.

Red - Syrah

Syrah was created by a natural crossing of the varieties Mondeuse Blanche & Dureza. It most likely originated in the Rhone Valley. Lamb and vegetable ragouts taste great with a Syrah. Strongly spiced dishes of game and red meat get their special touch with it. Hearty cheeses such as Hobelkäse and Bleu du Valais also go well.

Red - Cabernet Franc

This ancient variety of wine is particularly well-suited to the Valais sun. It produces small, thick-skinned berries with a strong, fruity bouquet and slightly exotic spices. Compared to Cabernet Sauvignon, however, the tannin content is lower. The wines therefore have much less astringency and are therefore drinkable younger.
