HELIODOR

CHF 34.90

75cl Heliodor (2022)

Our white wine is made from 100% Pinot Gris grapes that are grown in Lavaux, a UNESCO world heritage site. Pinot Gris is a very rare type of grape in this region, accounting for just 0.6% of all white wines produced here.

Select quantity:

Appearance

Golden with green thin.

Nose

Cool-climate aromatics abound: white nectarine, grapefruit, light florals (frangipani, apple blossom) and nashi pears.

Palate

Citrus flavours to the fore: juicy grapefruit segments dusted in sugar. Lemon zest grated over Lisbon lemon curd. The mid-palate is creamy and very textural. Cashew and nougat lurk in the background.

Finish

Warm with ginger turning to caramel and citrus, with a lingering and creamy mouthfeel.

ABV 13.5%

"Heliodor," originating from Greek, translates to "a gift of the sun" and pays tribute to the mythological character Icarus, who is known for his ill-fated flight towards the sun. Icarus demonstrated bravery by pursuing his dream, and despite the tragic ending, he was successful in his endeavor to fly. His story has motivated us to explore boundaries, leading us to select a Pinot Gris, a scarce grape for the otherwise Chasselas-dominated Lavaux region.
