Colour: Orange
Last seen vintage: 2009
Grape varieties: Pinot Noir
Origin: AOC Valais, Wallis, Switzerland
Alcohol: 12 % vol.

The grapes come from the slate-dominated side of the river running through Mythopia. After the 2009 harvest, the wine remained on the skins for three months and then matured for around ten years in used oak casks with a capacity of 400 litres; it was bottled in 2019. In the glass, it displays an unusually dark orange colour. Nutty, salty and oxidative notes reminiscent of Sherry mingle with raspberry, maraschino cherry and alpine minerality. The ageing gives it a distinctive, deep and rather meditative style.
