Petite Arvine de Fully

The indigenous Petite Arvine is one of Alexandre’s specialties, and he produces several examples of this incredible variety. This cuvée comes from six parcels in the canton of Fully—home to the only granitic soils in the Valais. Fermented via indigenous yeasts and aged just under one year in stainless steel, it offers Mosel-Riesling-like purity and cut, with a serene, crystalline nose of lime zest and kiwi, and a salty, ultra-focused palate. The component parcels are situated at 490 to 600 meters altitude, with an average vine age of 20 years.
