Description

A sublime Swiss wine: the symbiosis between finesse and delicacy

The producer

The history of Caves du Paradis began almost 60 years ago, when Alex Roten founded his company in 1959 in the Paradis district of Sierre in Switzerland. Progressively, thanks to his determination and his unfailing love for vines, he managed to acquire numerous plots of land in the region. He focuses his vision on the diversity of each terroir as well as the unique wine that they produce. In 1989, Raphaël Roten took over the estate in order to live out his passion for wine that has always driven him. Today, Olivier Roten follows his father and grandfather’s philosophy and succeeds them as the head of the estate.

The vineyard

Les Caves du Paradis has only 10 hectares of vines, but their quality enables them to offer some of the finest Swiss wines. Located in the villages of Sierre, Miège and Salquenen, the vineyards benefit from nearly 300 days of sunshine per year. In fact, these ideal weather conditions have given Sierre its nickname, "City of the Sun".

Avalanche Fendant 2020 is produced in the Valais appellation, at an altitude of 550 to 800 metres and on the hillsides of Sierre and Salquenen. This is where the 40-year-old vines are rooted in a soil influenced by both sand and silt.

The vinification and ageing

Following the manual harvest, the grapes are taken to the cellar to begin a customised vinification process. First, the grapes are pressed in whole bunches. Then, the wine is fermented in temperature-controlled concrete tanks. A partial malolactic fermentation is then carried out before the wine is aged for a year in concrete tanks.

The blend

Fendant (100%).
