The wine region of Sierre
Largest wine-growing commune of Swiss Valais at the heart of the Alpine arc, steep south-east slopes on schist and glacial moraines. Signature Pinot Noir as red king (~40%): fine and silky with notes of red cherry, raspberry, undergrowth, dried flowers and an alpine mineral touch, fine tannins and elegant palate. Fendant (Chasselas) as white king (~40%): taut and mineral (green apple, citrus, almond). Vibrant Petite Arvine, ample Johannisberg, supple Gamay.
The wine region of Valais
Switzerland's largest vineyard, capital of native grapes. Straight, precise alpine whites: light, floral Chasselas (Fendant), signature Petite Arvine with saline, grapefruit and rhubarb notes, rich, apricoty Amigne, mineral Humagne Blanche. Altitude reds: fine Pinot Noir, crisp Gamay, native Cornalin and Humagne Rouge, spicy and deep. Highly precise alpine age-worthy wines.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
