Perfect with freshwater fish, crustaceans, shellfish, and mountain cheese. In Valais, we like to serve our Heida with escargots in a rich herb butter sauce.
Even before Christianization, as archaeological findings show, the Celts cultivated Heida in Valais. They chose an especially exposed site near Visperterminen, now known as the highest vineyard north of the Alps.
The harsh climate at 1150 meters is perfect for the early-ripening grape. However, to achieve a full, broad structure along with vibrant acidity, it’s important to grow the grape variety at different locations. The Heida Les Pyramides from Mathier thrives on steep slopes around 750 meters in Turtmann and Venthône.
Fruity notes of apricot and peach dominate the nose. On the palate, the Heida is full-bodied, with subtle, well-integrated roasted flavors. The finish is long-lasting, accompanied by light, elegant tannins.
The grapes are destemmed and directly pressed. The first fermentation takes place mostly in new barrels. We limit the second fermentation to a select number of barrels. After 9 months of aging in French oak barrels, the Heida is ready to be enjoyed.
Various vineyards with clay-rich soils between Turtmann and Venthône.
