Moraine

Description (detail)

When the Vispertal glaciers retreated after the last ice age, a lot of earth debris from the Saas and Matter valleys remained in the Visperterminen area. This is why the soils in the vineyards consist mainly of moraine slate. The grape varieties Pinot Noir and Gamay, from which the Moraine is made, grow on them. A refreshing summer wine to enjoy on the sun terrace. The Pinot Noir grapes, freshly pressed and fermented at cool temperatures, give the wine its Mediterranean note and color.

Winery visit

Virtual tour: Step inside...

In recent years, the St. Jodern winery has been repeatedly rebuilt, expanded and modernised and is definitely worth a visit. If you are not able to visit Europe's highest vineyard in person today, you can still take a virtual tour of the premises. And after all, postponed is not cancelled...

St. Jodern Winery

The winery with the Heida...

In 1980, 120 members of the cooperative were able to deliver their grapes to the newly built St. Jodern winery for the first time. Today, more than 500 members of the cooperative produce around 300,000 liters of wine annually, which they bottle in the winery in around 400,000 bottles. Passion, wine as a philosophy of life and the pursuit of the highest quality are the three components that guide the employees at St. Jodernkellerei in their daily work. Added to this is the healthy and diverse nature of the region, which allows the grapes to thrive in the vineyards of Visperterminen up to an altitude of 1,150 meters above sea level.

Visperterminen has been blessed by nature with a mild climate. And its inhabitants, the "Terbiner", have always known how to make the most of the sun and the unique location of their village. It is no coincidence that the special people at the entrance to the Visp Valley are considered strong, unique and full of character - just like their wine.

Traditions are upheld at the St. Jodern winery because they are an obligation. Of course, innovation is also a must: the basis for the creation of modern, high-quality top wines, as the St. Jodern Kellerei has been producing for years. Innovation based on tradition - that is one of the recipes for success in Europe's highest vineyard.

Rosé

«Currently on everyone's lips - or rather, in everyone's glasses»

Rosé wines are very light-coloured wines made from red grapes, which are produced like white wine. The berries may not be left on the mash for a few hours, if at all. Depending on the intensity of the contact with the berry skins, the rosé wine is coloured to varying degrees; the colour spectrum ranges from salmon to cherry red.

Not permitted for the production of rosé wines according to wine law are the grape varieties known in German as grau (in French gris), such as Grauer Burgunder (grey Burgundy), Gewürztraminer and Grenache Gris, which produce only slightly reddish coloured berries even when fully ripe. Rosé wines from outside the EU can also be blended from white and red wines.

Since the aim is to achieve the lowest possible alcohol content and fresh aromas, it is particularly popular in summer.
