Dôle
About this grape variety
Dôle is a light-hearted Valais wine that is the offspring of the two most widely planted red grapes in Valais, Pinot Noir and Gamay.
Together they account for 51 % of the vines, with Pinot Noir the majority grape variety. Other red grapes may be included in the blend: Gamaret, Garanoir, Carminoir, Ancellotta, Diolinoir, Merlot and Syrah are all used.
Some add colour to the wine, others give structure and tannins while yet others add a touch of aromatic fun.
The ever-present Valais Dôle is capable of a multitude of expressions, reflecting the terroirs and producers. Each one is a new discovery.

Dôle blanche is made from the same grapes as Dôle, but it is vinified as a white wine, in other words without leaving the grape skins to macerate. It links the charm and freshness of a white wine and the comfort of a red.
