Fendant du valais & Pinot noir du valais 鼎世公司瑞士葡萄酒系列
At 5259 hectares, the Valais vineyard region is now the biggest in Switzerland. Valais lies in the South-West of Switzerland, stretching for 150 km along the narrow ribbon of the Rhône Valley between Lake Geneva and the Rhône Glacier.
The climate of the Valais is a continental one. The Alps have a huge influence. Winter there is rather cold, sometimes with a risk of frost, and summer is rather hot. Annual rainfall there is low (around 600 mm). Autumn is often mild and sunny, sometimes with the presence of a foehn (warm wind), which assists the ripening of the late specialities.
The Valais vineyard is characterized by the presence of 59 grape varieties (26 red and 33 white), however, 4 grape varieties alone take up nearly 90 % of the surface area (Chasselas, Pinot noir, Gamay, Sylvaner).
Chasselas (also called Fendant) provides with 45% the largest amount of the production of white wines. It is dry, fresh, frank and nervous, also little sparkling, fresh aromas of fruits and flowers. The palate is round and smooth.(www.lesvinsduvalais.ch)
在5259公顷的葡萄园中，瓦莱州是瑞士最大的葡萄酒产区。瓦莱州地处瑞士西南部，位于日内瓦湖和罗纳冰河之间，是法国罗纳河谷的延伸。瓦莱州的气候为大陆型气候，受阿尔卑斯山的影响，冬天极冷，并有霜冻的危险，夏天极热，降雨量低仅为600毫米，秋天气候温和并常伴有暖风，所有这些都使晚熟葡萄品种得到很好的成熟。
瓦莱州葡萄产区种有59种葡萄品种，其中26种红葡萄，33种白葡萄，其中四种葡萄品种夏瑟拉、黑皮诺、佳美、西万尼占种植面积的90％。
