Wines made from Petite Arvine grapes of Chamoson
Discover the best wines made with Petite Arvine as a single variety or as a blend of Chamoson.
Structured, aromatic dry and sweet whites with a pale golden color, ample palate and preserved acidity, with signature aromas of citrus (grapefruit), rhubarb, white flowers (wisteria), exotic fruits (passion fruit) and characteristic saline notes on the finish. Fine cellaring potential, dry and late-harvest styles. Star of great Valais whites (Vétroz, Sion, Fully, Chamoson). Swiss indigenous variety from the Valais.
Largest wine-producing commune in Swiss Valais, ~400 ha between 450 and 750 m on sun-drenched Alpine foothills (~2,500 h/yr). Signature Petite Arvine reigns in white on Haut-de-Cry: aromatic and saline with signature notes of grapefruit, rhubarb, white flowers, wisteria and a finely salted mineral touch, taut, lingering palate — the queen of Valais. Chasselas (Fendant) terroir-driven. Fine Pinot Noir, supple Gamay, ample Johannisberg (Sylvaner).
