PETITE ARVINE

Specific to the Valais, the Petite Arvine is a rare and precious pearl. It needs a select, though not too arid, spot to produce its best. The fine flesh, melting and delicate, gives the wine an inimitable character of great distinction. It is well-bred and virile, lifting the spirit with fragrances of flowers and fruit; it is vigorous on the palate, and amazingly delicate and complex, with a highly individual tinge of salt in the finish. Overripening gives it density and aromatic richness, without detracting from its finesse and legendary harmony. It is a wine that can be drunk young, but which also has potential for keeping several years.
