Syrah / AOC Valais
"Takes a few minutes to open up on the nose. Then the wine reveals distinct notes of black pepper, plum, cassis, and a hint of sour cherry. On the palate, too, it’s a cool-climate Syrah with firm tannins, dense and well-structured. A fresh, spicy, and elegant Syrah with power and juiciness and plenty of potential."
- Wine description by Jan Schwarzenbach, Master of Wine
1921 was the year the first Syrah vines were planted in Valais, using saplings from Tain in the French Rhône Valley. Today, Syrah is considered one of the most popular specialties. It is characterized by spicy and peppery notes.
