A white mutation of Pinot Noir.
More informations about the region of Valais
Exceptional hillside in the central Valais between Sion and Sierre (right bank of the Rhône), chalky-gravelly soils and record sunshine (2,000 h/year). Fendant (Chasselas) dominates as the signature white — taut with white flowers, white-fleshed fruit, almond and a characteristic chalky mineral touch. Pinot Noir is the signature red — elegant and silky with red fruits and a spicy touch. Petite Arvine, Cornalin, Humagne, Syrah and Fumin as complements.
