The Shadow Keeper

Cornalin

Valais AOC
A wine reminiscent of the nights when witches gathered at the old tower of Sion. Deeply rooted and powerful like the rock beneath it, it reveals the earthy, mysterious side of Valais – a touch of magic in a glass.

Culinary recommendation

Pairs excellently with rack of lamb with rosemary, game dishes or strong Valais cheese specialities. Equally exciting with Asian-inspired wok dishes such as teriyaki chicken with roasted vegetables – a wine full of temperament and expression.

Wine history
chevron-down

‘The Witch Tower’ – inspired by the ancient legends of Sion, where magic and history have intertwined for centuries. As the last witness to times gone by, the tower still carries the whispers of those nights when the witches gathered. In the Cave de l'Hospice de Salquenen, Diego Mathier brings this spirit back to life: wines that combine clarity and power, full of depth, energy and quiet mysticism. They are an expression of the Valais terroir, where craftsmanship, passion and history merge to create new magic.

Tasting note
chevron-down

This Cornalin has a deep ruby red colour with a lively sheen. The nose reveals ripe cherries, blackberries and a hint of clove spice. Juicy and elegant on the palate, with fine-grained tannins, mineral tension and a long, delicately smoky finish.

Vinification
