Description
The Humagne Rouge Gold AOC Wallis is an exceptional Swiss red wine that masterfully showcases the elegant fruit expression and historical heritage of alpine viticulture. Crafted by the renowned Varonier winery in the high-altitude terrains of the Wallis (Valais) canton, this premium red selection highlights a rare grape variety that has thrived in the region for centuries. The vines absorb intense mountain sun on steep stone terraces over deep glacial soils, giving birth to a bright and captivating red wine with an unmatched alpine character.
In the glass, this beautiful 2017 vintage exhibits a lovely light-red colour with exceptional clarity. The bouquet opens with a complicated yet inviting flavour profile, bursting with a rich fruit taste and distinct aromas of fresh cherry and cracked white pepper. Clocking in at a perfectly balanced 13.4% alcohol by volume, it features remarkably fine tannins and a harmonious structure that coats the palate with a velvet-like texture. This independent selection possesses an impressive cellaring potential, built to mature beautifully over a peak ripeness window of 3 to 5 years.
Food Pairing:
With its rich fruit profile and elegant spice, this premium Humagne Rouge Gold is a phenomenal asset for upscale dining environments. It pairs magnificently with savory grilled meat, tender rack of lamb, and premium wild venison cuts. It also serves as a world-class companion for traditional charcuterie assortments and aged gourmet cheeses. To enjoy its alpine complexity at its peak, serve at a preferred chilled cellar temperature of 16–18 °C.
