Siccus, Johannisberg

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

Dry Johannis from Mont d’Or
The Mont d'Or estate was the first to import and then popularize Sylvaner, under the name Johannisberg, with great success. It has today become the first white specialty in Valais! If the sweet style is historically associated with the estate, the aptly named ''Siccus'' (dry) is a high-flying, tense wine, with a typical fine bitterness and surprising salinity.
