Dôle Sang de l’enfer pairs excellently with poultry, veal, and pork dishes. It also complements Valais specialties such as mountain cheese and cured meats exceptionally well.
Sang de l’enfer, or "Blood of Hell," reflects its origins in Salgesch's famous "Hell" vineyard, where the scorching summer sun tests the vineyard workers to their limits, with countless liters of sweat spilled for cooling relief. Best enjoyed in a cool, shaded spot, this wine invites a moment of reflection on the hard labor poured into creating this fine vintage.
Pinot Noir lends Dôle its vivacity, elegance, and refined bouquet, while Gamay reliably ensures expressive fruitiness and robust structure.
Low yields and an average sugar content of 95° Oechsle are essential for Sang de l’enfer. Fermentation takes place under continuous temperature control, followed by extended maceration and six months of maturation in stainless steel tanks.
The grapes for Dôle Sang de l’Enfer de Salquenen thrive on limestone- and magnesium-rich soils in Salgesch and its surrounding area.
