Pinot Gris "the gray in pink"

Isabella & Stéphane Kellenberger, Vin d’oeuvre, Leuk Stadt
Description (detail)

A dry, quiet wine with fruity aromas for striking appearances. Its delicate salmon pink color comes from the maceration period, i.e., the time when the juice comes into contact with the grape skins and thus takes on its color.

Our story

What connects us with this winery...

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

Malvoisie / Pinot Gris

«A must for wine connoisseurs»

Like Pinot blanc, Pinot Gris is a spontaneous genetic mutation of Pinot Noir that has changed colour. Like the Pinot Noir, the Pinot Gris has compact grapes. It grows on the best, hottest and well-ventilated slopes of the Valais.

The wonderful wine made from this variety is called Malvoisie in Valais. Almost always harvested overripe, sometimes even with the famous noble rot, Malvoisie offers a complex bouquet with notes of quince jelly, mirabelle jam, honey, candied fruits and oriental spices. On the palate, it impresses with lushness and sweetness... There are also a few (few) dry Malvoisie wines (also called Pinot Gris in Valais) that are worth discovering. Whether sweet or dry; these concentrated, vinous, powerful wines with a lot of melting turn their force into the most beautiful harmony after a few years in the cellar.
