The topaz

Gemma assemblage de cépages nobles TOPAS Vin doux naturel

AOC Valais
This exquisite rarity matures, like a gemstone, deep within the eternal ice of the Rhône Glacier in oak barrels to reach its irresistible perfection. Its intense nose of exotic fruits, combined with fine residual sweetness and rich fruit, has already earned it the title of Swiss Champion as the best Swiss sweet wine. Truly a noble poem in a glass.

Mature hard and soft cheeses, sweet dishes, and pastries. Irresistible when paired with a classic "Crêpe Suzette," a flambéed pancake drizzled with a few drops of our fine assemblage.

Wine history
chevron-down

Topaz is a gemstone with an incredible variety of colors. Its Greek name is tied to a romantic story. Shipwrecked pirates are said to have discovered the stone on a mythical island in the Red Sea – Topazos, meaning "sought and found."

Topaz is the birthstone of November. During this month, the vine rests after the harvest, and the winter slumber begins. The vibrant colors of topaz resemble the fading autumn. In the cellars, the wines of this blend ferment, and an incredible aroma hints at promising delights.

Tasting note
chevron-down

Delicate sweet wine with an intense nose of exotic fruits such as mango, pineapple, and lychee. Mild yet invigorating on the palate. A true delight thanks to its intense fruit, the presence of residual sugar, and a beautiful acidity. A touch of tannins accompanies the long-lasting finish of this rare wine.

Vinification

Natural residual sweetness, with a late harvest in November at a minimum of 140 Öchsle. Fermented in new French oak barrels and aged on the lees in the Rhône Glacier. Malolactic fermentation is blocked.
