The Wine Grapes of Switzerland
Riesling
A classic German white variety, Riesling (or Petit Rhin) is rare in Valais but does produce good results on the favorable schistose soils around Sion.
Pinot Gris
Called Malvoisie in Valais, this grape has nothing to do with any of the Malvoisie varieties of the Muscat family and is another of the mutations of Pinot Noir. A vine grown in many of the Swiss areas, in Valais, Pinot Gris produces a fine sweet late harvest wine with honey overtones.
Durize
Durize is a red wine grape, possibly indigenous, grown in the Valais district of Switzerland
Wine is a peep-hole on a man.
