New Vintage Fendant is the traditional Valais name for Chasselas. "Les Murettes" Fendant is an incredible take on the classic Swiss favorite. Awarded Gold in 2023 and earned the esteemed title of best Fendant (Chasselas) in all of Switzerland. Maison Gilliard's stunning history and cultural relevance in the illustrious Valais region represent the essence of Valaisan sunshine and the Valaisan way of life, subtle and balanced. Fendant, or Chasselas as it is known outside of Valais, is the staple grape of Switzerland. Nothing can quite compare to the subtle yet complex depth of the Chasselas grape. On the surface, it is an easy-drinking aperitif-style wine, designed to be enjoyed at any occasion. But peel back the layers, and you'll discover the depth and beauty of this native Alpine wine. Bouquet: Aromas of spice, tamarind, and pepper with a depth of Honey and lime leaf. Palate: Exceptional notes of baked brie, cheese rind, roasted nuts, honeysuckle, and bright acidity, finishing with a hint of oak and notes of orange flesh and blackberry bramble. Pairings: It is best served as an aperitif but pairs exceptionally well with hard cheese, grilled or pan-fried fish, shellfish, and seafood. 10.5% ABV • 2024 • Organic
