Petite Arvine TWC 2024

Tasting note

The complex aromas of the wine are reminiscent of ripe fruits, dominated by rhubarb compote and grapefruit. A balanced, complex structure develops on the palate with a beautiful, ripe acidity and the typical salty finish. Depending on the quality of the vintage, the wine can be stored for between three and five years.

Terroir

The grapes for this flavoursome wine grow in the sun-drenched hamlet of Molignon above the town of Sion. The predominant slate rock is known locally as «brisier», meaning «break». The clay slate formations do indeed resemble puff pastry and account for the soil’s high mineral content, and thus for the wine’s fruitiness and minerality.
