Grape(s) Variety(ies)
Pinot Noir or blended of Pinot Noir and Gamay
Climate conditions
Valais is known for its exceptional climate, whereby the mountains stop most of the rainfall, but create ‘foehn’ winds which assists in the late autumn months with the essential ripening process of late varieties of grapes. Almost continuous sunshine for most of the year attributes to hot and dry summers, while winters can be cold and snowy, even on the lower levels of the valley, yet the frost, which is usually the worst enemy of winegrowers, is rare, as the seasons change gradually, not abruptly.
Soil Composition
Light, well-aerated soil, poor in clay. This warms up rapidly in sunshine but does not retain water very well. The soil composition varies from plot to plot, diversity due to the geological upheavals, which occurred in this region.

    Global Wine Wars

    The concept of wine-making was originally an art dominated by several European countries, mainly amongst the noble class, competing against one another for the highest quality wines. Traditionally set in their ways, from their methods of planting, to harvesting, to marketing channels and their consumers, the “Old World” wine-makers were unprepared for what was ahead of them as the “New World” growers joined in the struggle to appeal to the tastes of their consumers. As the New World began gaining ground, a rivalry arose between the New and Old World - the Old World set on its traditional ways which had been in practice for centuries, while the New World focused around maximization of crops and harvesting, as well as marketing to the changing consumer preferences - leaving the Old World in awe as the New World took over in sales and imports. With a shifting of palates and an economic recession which hit not only the consumer’s wallets, but also the grower’s vineyards, a continuous battle for leader in U.S. imports emerged as the preference for premium wines increased, leaving the U.S. out to dry with their high prices due to inherent domestic costs.…

    Analysis: The Canadian Grape Industry

    Most grapes come from cultivars of Vitis vinifera, the common grapevine; and its cultivation began approximately 6000 to 8000 years ago (B) (This et al., 2006). Grapes can be eaten raw and used for making wine, raisins, juices, jellies, vinegars, and seed oils (B). The grapevine has played an essential role in history, religion, and industry worldwide. Archaeological evidence suggests that the first wine production has originated between the Black Sea region and Iran, and by the influence of Roman Empire it was spread to Europe (A). The spread of viticulture to North America at the end of the 19th century was followed by the phylloxera epidemic which destroyed most of the vineyards in Europe (This et al., 2006). Extensive…
