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.

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.
