Arvine (Petite Arvine)

It is an ancient, indigenous white grape variety from Valais, commonly called the Petite Arvine, whose name and origin go probably back to the Romans. It produces dry, soft wines with a slightly salty taste, and above all excellent late-harvest wines with citrus fruits and pineapple flavours. These are wines that can be kept quite long.
