Humagne Blanc is an excellent companion for an aperitif, as well as for appetizers, cheese, and dishes with freshwater fish, such as steamed pike with leek strips.
Humagne Blanc is one of the indigenous grape varieties of Valais, meaning it originates from this region. Due to its high calcium and iron content, it earned a reputation for being healthy and quickly became known as the midwives' wine. It was given to strengthen both the new mother and, occasionally, the newborn. The beauty and grounded nature of Valaisan children, by the way, are said to come from the enriched breast milk thanks to this wine.
Delicate aromas of flowers and linden blossoms unfold on the nose. On the palate, the wine is smooth and harmonious, accompanied by a pleasant freshness. The finish is long, with a silky note.
The grapes are destemmed and directly pressed. Both the first and second fermentation take place in stainless steel tanks.
Humagne Blanc from Mathier is grown in the best vineyards around Salgesch on limestone-rich scree soils.
