Winter Cornalin
With a red and purple tone created from the ripe fruits of winter, flavours of black cherry and forest berries and a strong and memorable taste, Premiers Frissons d’hiver pampers the taste buds with a whirlwind of invigorating flavours.
History
Called “Rouge du Pays” in the early fourteenth century, the Cornalin is a capricious and difficult grape to grow. Almost abandoned in the middle of the twentieth century, it is now considered by some as the greatest red wine of Valais.
Winemaking
This wine is traditionally made in our vats. This preserves all the flavour and original aromas.
Gastronomy
Because of its strength, Cornalin is perfect with game and tasty or marinated meat. It is also popular with cheeses.
