Adrian Mathier Nouveau Salquenen Ambassadeur Fumé Gros Rhin Valais
Our Ambassadeur Fumé is produced with Gros Rhin grapes grown in the village of Chamoson in southwestern Switzerland. After experimenting for 5 years, we managed to process this white wine like a red one by fermenting it during the maceration. It is then aged in oak for 6 months. This vinification process is undoubtedly a world innovation.
Tasting Notes: Fine wood notes and very fruity on the nose. This wine has enormous complexity. Acidity, including tannic acidity unusual for a white, and vanilla notes complement each other in a sensational manner. Long and intense finish. Pairing: Seafood and crustaceans, smoked fish or poultry. Unsurpassed with salmon in a sweet mustard sauce with dill.

Adrian Mathier Nouveau Salquenen Diego Mathier Syrah Valais 2007
A perfect example of the high quality that Swiss winemakers can achieve with international varietals, this Syrah rivals the level of some northern Rhône counterparts. From vineyards located in Conthey and Sierre.
Tasting Notes: My Syrah grapes produce a strong wine with an intensive colour. If drunk while young, it has a tangy extravagant taste. As the years go by it develops spicy perfumed hints of violet and mignonette which with time transmute into wild and peppery perfumes. At the height of its maturity it develops a harmonious taste which borders on perfection. Pairing: To accompany lamb, beef, game or cheese. Our recommendation: unforgettable with lamb cutlets and Provencal herbs accompanied by fresh wild mushrooms. Decant.
