Discover the best wines made with Gamaret as a single variety or as a blend of Conthey.
Structured, colourful reds with a dense purple robe and firm tannins, featuring aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, black cherry, spices and peppery notes. Fresh acidity, good performance in oak ageing. Made as a single-variety ageing wine and in many premium Swiss blends with Garanoir, Gamay and Pinot Noir. Star of modern reds from Vaud, Geneva and Valais. A Gamay × Reichensteiner cross created in 1970 at the Pully research station (Switzerland).
Grand Cru AOC commune of central Valais (terraces at the foot of the Haut de Cry), dry microclimate with Foehn winds favouring late-ripening varieties. Chasselas (Fendant) as the signature white — lively and mineral with citrus, white flowers and an alpine saline touch. Pinot Noir and Gamay (Dôle) as supple reds with red fruits and a spiced touch. Typed native varieties: Petite Arvine, Amigne, Humagne and Cornalin.
