Discover the best wines made with Diolinoir as a single variety or as a blend of Martigny.
Deeply coloured, structured reds with a dense purple robe, smooth tannins and fresh acidity, with aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, soft spice and floral notes. Round palate, fruity finish. Vinified as single varietal and in modern red blends in French-speaking Switzerland (Valais, Vaud, Geneva), contributing colour and structure to contemporary cuvées. Swiss variety created in 1970 at the Pully station, a red cross of Diolly × Pinot Noir.
Heart of the Swiss Lower Valais at the bend of the Rhône, ~120 ha of steep terraced vineyards on dry-stone walls at the foot of the Alps. Fendant (Chasselas) as the everyday white, but above all Valais specialties — Petite Arvine, an endemic variety, as a refined white with lively citrus, glycine and a saline-mineral hint; opulent Humagne Blanche and Ermitage. Cornalin ("Rouge du Pays") as a rare signature red with griotte cherry, blackberry and floral notes. Sun-drenched Syrah.
