Aphrodite, Petite Arvine
White wine | Domaine du Mont d’Or, Valais AOC
A love potion
Mont d'Or, the oldest wine estate in Valais, offers us a Petite Arvine that lives up to its name! Named after the Greek goddess of love, beauty and desire, it is true that it has everything to make us succumb, with its intense, sunny and pure aromas of roasted peach, grapefruit and wisteria in flower. This white wine seduces from the first sip, thanks to the power and liveliness typical of this great Valais grape variety!
