Claudy Clavien La Cave des Champs Paien Larmes du Terroir, Valais, Switzerland 2020 South West France as it is earthyPetite Arvine is a native of the Valais and is considered by many to be the finest variety of the region. Despite being a late ripening variety and the dry and warm climate of the Valais, it is distinguished by its refreshing mineral acidity underpinning its citrus and orchard fruit flavors. Despite attempts to cultivate this distinctive variety in the Northern Rhne and Italy, it has proved nearly impossible to grow outside the Valais.
