Chasselas from biodynamic grapes and 40 y.o. vines. Elegant, clean, perfect acidity.

I love this grape and region. I can't visit Swiss family this summer, but this wine takes me there. Limestone, restrained acidity, yet expertly balanced. Maybe the best Chasselas I've tried. Relatively light, and meant for apéro or fish. I had it with sushi, then the rest of the bottle with goat cheese and herb ravioli, blistered tomatoes, capers and pesto sauce. Both were great pairings 🙌 12% abv.

Good balance of acidity and fruit. One of the few Chasselas from Switzerland you can buy in the US.

By far one of the best Chasselas in Switzerland. Well balanced and ideal for fish dishes as well as apero.
