Johannisberg

Cool, high-altitude terraces of Switzerland's Valais.

Known as: Räuschling Johannisberg, Sylvaner de Valais

Johannisberg is a Swiss name most often attached to the area's racy white grapes, tied to the crisp, peppery style grown on Valais high ground.

It delivers a dry, spritely white with green-apple bite and refreshing herbal lift, frequently lighter and zestier than its cousins.

For the buyer, Johannisberg is alpine refreshment — lean, brisk and a fine match for the region's lake trout and spring greens.
