About this product
Switzerland's most celebrated indigenous white variety from Chappaz's biodynamic Alpine terraces above the Rhône. Petite Arvine is unique to the Valais — its character defined by extraordinary salinity (the Valais's glacial-mineral terroir), powerful acidity, and white rhubarb, grapefruit, and Alpine flower aromatics that intensify with altitude. Pale straw with aromas of grapefruit zest, white rhubarb, Alpine spring flowers, and sea salt. The palate is electric and mineral — one of Europe's most distinctive white wines.
