{"product_id":"cave-des-amandiers-heida-suisse","title":"Cave des Amandiers - Heida - 2020","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Heida from the Cave des Amandiers comes from Valais, Switzerland's largest wine-growing canton, in the heart of the Alps. It blends grapes from Fully and Leytron, on hillsides where the vines rise in terraces held up by dry-stone walls, between 450 and 900 metres above sea level. In Leytron, the well-drained schist and limestone soils bring minerality and structure, while the dry, luminous climate, swept by the foehn wind, ensures the savagnin ripens fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grape, known as païen in French-speaking Valais and heida in its German-speaking part, is grown on steep plots worked by hand. Vinification takes place mainly in tank and, depending on the year, in large oak vats (foudres): this 2020 vintage was aged in foudres, a deliberately discreet choice that respects the personality of the grape, the terroir and the vintage. The work remains entirely artisanal in the cellar in Saillon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003ewhite flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emango\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003elime\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003epassion fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eyellow apple\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efresh walnut\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ealmond\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003egunflint\u003c\/strong\u003e.
