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.

Fendant

«302 Valais winegrowers cultivate this grape variety»

Fendant is the great "Valaisan", the name of which is reserved exclusively for Valaisan wine made from Chasselas grapes (Gutedel). In Valais, it is called Fendant because its skin splits ("se fend") under the fingers when it is ripe.

In Valais, Fendant is the second most important variety after Pinot Noir. It is a drinkable wine with fine nuances, in which the different vineyards of origin can be reflected in a variety of ways: with fruity, floral or even mineral notes. It often has a slight carbonic acidity and is always cheerful, digestible and elegant. The fruit aromas are reminiscent of lemons or ripe apples. In short: Fendant is the aperitif wine par excellence and goes well with any cosy get-together.
