Loving this! Enjoyed it with fondue. Bright acid, full body, gorgeous texture.

Medium straw color with just the faintest touch of green. The nose is quite interesting and distinctive. Melon and apples on the nose at first but you’ll begin to notice plenty of tropical aromas after a bit of air. Chamomile tea and fragrant herbs.

Mostly grown in Switzerland, Petite Arvine is a new grape to most, including me. Crisp and quite mineral. Smooth and easy going with a touch of class. The sweetness level grows over time but not cloying or distracting. Very very nice and out of left field. Will definitely be trying this again.

Tasting pour. First Petite Arvine, and had never even heard the variety mentioned before. Looks like it is originally from the Vilais region of Switzerland. Nose of honey. Easy drinker.

2020 vintage. Always fun and different. A bit of rounded spice on the finish.

2020 vintage. Weird and wonderful. Woodsy body. Playful fruit and structure.
