PETITE ARVINE
Internationally renowned wine, grown in Valais exclusively since 1602. A delicate grape, sensitive to wind, ripens late. Gives an exquisite range of wines: nervy dry with aromas of wisteria and grapefruit; slightly sweet with notes of rhubarb; and sweet flétris wines, often exceptionally concentrated, with intense aromas of exotic fruits. Said to be the “muse of the Valais”.
Nose: Floral hint of wisteria or gentian. Pineapple, mango, passion fruit, grapefruit.
Mouth: Complex, concentrated, virile and intense. Acidity can be high. Rhubarb notes. Subtle iodine-like character.
