Amphitryon, Riesling

White wine | Domaine du Mont d’Or, Valais AOC

A well acclimatised Germain!
This Riesling - rare in the old country - is typical, intense, with great vivacity, well covered in an expressive, elegant style, sustained by a lingering finish of white peach and melon. A cuvée that lives up to its name: an amphitheatre is a generous host... and this white wine is the perfect accompaniment to many dishes. It will sublimate seafood, but also spicy Asian dishes, sauerkraut or soft cheeses.

Les vendanges au Domaine du Mont d'Or

Domaine du Mont d’Or

The wine history of Valais is closely linked to the Domaine du Mont d'Or, its oldest estate, certified Bio-Bourgeon , symbolizing the challenges of local winegrowers. In the 19th century, several grape varieties, including Johannisberg, were introduced by the estate, paying homage to the Princes of Metternich with a distinctive green capsule. Since 1848, the year marking the birth of contemporary Switzerland, the Domaine du Mont d'Or has celebrated its terroir and perpetuated ancestral know-how. Its wines, true ambassadors of this centuries-old tradition, capture and express the very essence of this rich and authentic wine heritage.
