Homage to the Valais wine culture

 
Wine journalist and long-time Werbewoche employee Chandra Kurt and Valais winemaker Madeleine Gay, the "Grande Dame du Vin", have created a new "Chandra Kurt Collection". The team focuses on old and little-known grape varieties, which - refined into wine - tell of the tradition and history of Valais. The first two bottlings are a Humagne Rouge and a Humagne Blanc - two indigenous varieties that are not related to each other. Further wines will follow with the aim of putting together a small but fine collection. This is in light of the fact that every third bottle of Swiss wine today comes from Valais, where 49 homologated A.O.C. grape varieties grow on the slopes of the Rhone.
