Petite Arvine de Leytron

SKU AMAL

The indigenous Petite Arvine is one of Alexandre’s specialties, and he produces several examples of this incredible variety. This cuvée comes from two southerly exposed parcels in the canton of Leytron comprising a mere quarter of a hectare, with soils of decomposed schist layers mortared by clay atop limestone mother-rock. Fermented via indigenous yeasts and aged eight months in 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 two component parcels are situated at 500 to 600 meters altitude, with an average vine age of 20 years.
