More about the wine cellar

Vin d'Oeuvre, Leuk town

Isabella & Stéphane Kellenberger from the Vin d'oeuvre winery in Leuk Stadt are happy to share their passion... because they are available in bottles, in white and red, contemporary or more traditional, ready to enjoy immediately or for storage - tailored to a variety of tastes.

The two met while studying oenology in Vaud. Their relationship is no longer just professional, but also personal. They have two children. Their common strengths lie in the breadth of their individual professional experience, their different interests and the contrasting nature of their personal traits, which nevertheless harmonize perfectly, just like in a good wine.

They produce 17 different wines from indigenous and international grape varieties at their family winery Vin d'oeuvre in Leuk. They travel miles for good wine, as their vineyards stretch from Fully in the Lower Valais to Visperterminen in the Upper Valais - in short, through the entire Valais.

Vin d'oeuvre is a play on words made up of the French "vin" (wine) and "oeuvre" (work). It deliberately alludes to "main d'oeuvre" (craft) and "chef d'oeuvre" (masterpiece). Isabella & Stéphane are vin d'oeuvre, because that is exactly what their wines want to convey: Top quality paired with race and elegance - gained through their work in the vines and in the cellar.

More about the grape variety

Humagne Blanche

«Midwife's wine»

The white Humagne is one of the ancient grape varieties found exclusively in Valais. The variety was already mentioned in a document from 1313. The peculiarity of Humagne is that it contains about three times more iron than other wines. This is probably why it was given the nickname "midwife's wine", because our ancestors regarded it as a tonic that would restore strength to women in childbirth.

The grape variety can produce an amazing, very pure, fresh, long wine of great elegance and subtlety, characterised by lime blossom notes reminiscent of a young Chasselas. With age, the Humagne grape develops an unexpected dimension. A wine that you should definitely discover!
