Leys wines

In 1984, Arthur and Andrea decided to set up the small family business, but the old location soon became too small. As the vineyard area grew larger and larger, they decided to build the current "Weinkeller zum Leyscher" in March 1988. In the same year, they were able to vinify their entire production in the new wine cellar for the first time.

They were delighted when their son Pascal joined the business in 2001 after completing his apprenticeship as a wine technologist. Thanks to the good family cooperation in the vineyard and in the wine cellar, where the wines are tasted together, they have already received several national and international awards.

The Varonier family lives with wine, wine is their passion and they grow with their experience every day. On around 3 hectares of vines, they exclusively process grapes from their own vineyards to produce wonderful wines. With the necessary respect for nature, passion and love, they create high-quality wines full of character. They are proud to be able to offer you an impressive range of different Valais wines, which will give you great pleasure thanks to their outstanding quality and value for money.

Diolinoir

«Modern Swiss grape variety»

The red grape variety is a relatively young grape variety from 1970. The crossing between Rouge de Diolly and Pinot Noir was made by André Jaquinet at the Federal Research Station for Crop Production in Pully. The grape variety is very resistant to diseases and the grapes are harvested later than Pinot Noir.

The Diolinoir needs a perfect ripening process to bring all taste and smell components to perfection. The deep red, powerful wine is rich in tannins. Diolinoir is often used for blends.
