Discover the grape variety: Rouge du Pays

Structured and elegant reds with a deep ruby robe, firm yet melted tannins and a dense palate with fine acidity, showing signature aromas of red fruits (morello cherry, raspberry), spices, pepper and Alpine mineral notes. Fine Valaisan ageing potential. Star of the great Valaisan reds on the sun-drenched slopes of the Swiss Rhône, a typical expression of Alpine terroir. Valaisan synonym for Cornalin, native black grape from Valais, identical to Cornalin from the Aosta Valley.

The wine region of Khvanchkara

Georgian appellation north-west of Ambrolauri (Racha), vineyards at 450-750 m on humo-carbonate soils. Natural semi-sweet red signatures (Aleksandrouli 60% + Mujuretuli 40%) with deep ruby colour and velvety palate: vibrant aromas of blackberry, black cherry, candied raspberry, plum, liquorice and a cinnamon touch, natural sugars from over-ripening. Historic Georgian banquet wine (since 1927). Millenary qvevri tradition.

The wine region of Racha-Lechkhumi

Prestigious small region in north-west Georgia in the high Caucasus valleys, altitude vineyards on schisto-calcareous soils. Aleksandrouli is the native king in reds: full-bodied and rich with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, spices and a floral touch, dense tannins — blended with Mujuretuli for the flagship Khvanchkara (legendary semi-sweet red, favourite of Stalin). Rare native Usakhelauri and Otskhanuri Sapere. Textured Tsolikouri in whites.
