RARE GRAPE VARIETAL RESOURCE

"Its synonym "Savagnin" refers to the Servan wine region, the Persian name for Shirvan, where this original variety has been cultivated for at least 5,000 years. By focusing on the Gewürztraminer, a variant of the White Traminer, this valuable grape variety, with a long regional identity in Germany, was completely overlooked. Already around 550 BC. it spread in the Alpine region and then in the Rhine Valley. In Valais, the wines of the white wine variety known there as Heida are once again very much appreciated. Through the project "Historical Grape Varieties", the autochthonously important grape variety is once again receiving attention and recognition from us."
