More informations about the variety Chasselas
Light, lively whites with a tender palate and low acidity, with discreet aromas of fresh hazelnut, white flowers, light honey, apple and strongly terroir-driven mineral notes ("chameleon wine" of Swiss soils). Made as dry, often slightly sparkling whites. Absolute star of Vaud (Dézaley, Calamin, Lavaux Grand Cru) and Valais (Fendant) in Switzerland. Also in Pouilly-sur-Loire AOC and the German Jura. Excellent table grape.

Idyllic wine village of the Markgräflerland (southern Baden, between Basel and Freiburg, near the Rhine and Black Forest, viticulture documented since 1147), clay-limestone and loess soils. Gutedel (Chasselas) is the signature white: delicate and accessible with green apple, citrus, white flowers and a mineral-saline finish, thirst-quenching balance, ideal aperitif. Spätburgunder and Weissburgunder as fine complements. Weingut Sommerhalter, rising local star.
