This is a mountain wine, grown at an altitude of 1150 metres, which makes it one of the highest in Europe. It&#8217;s made from the Heida (aka Savagnin) variety, and despite the altitude, manages to get pretty ripe: this weighs in at 14% alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>The wine comes from a series called collection Chandra Kurt. She&#8217;s a Swiss wine journalist, and the wine itself is made by Provins Valais, It&#8217;s really interesting, with great potential for development in bottle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Collection Chandra Kurt Heida 2010 Valais, Switzerland<\/strong><br \/>\n14% alcohol.
