Petite Arvine
About this grape variety
Petite Arvine is the internationally renowned white Valais wine. It is a delicate grape, sensitive to wind, and it ripens late. As a result it demands the most exposure to sun, but preferably not in overly dry soil.
Arvine gives a complete range of wines, each as exquisite and interesting as the next: the nervy dry version with its aromas of wisteria and grapefruit; the slightly sweet Petite Arvine with notes of rhubarb and the many sweet withered grape wines, often exceptionally concentrated, with very intense aromas of a wide variety of exotic fruits.
