**Petite Arvine** is a white grape closely tied to the Valais in the Swiss Alps, where it is one of the country's most treasured native varieties. It ranks among the most distinctive and age-worthy of Switzerland's white grapes. **In the glass** — it is known for aromas of apricot, citrus and white flowers, a vibrant acidity, and a signature salty, savoury finish that gives it real presence. **Where it grows** — its heartland is the sun-drenched Rhône valley slopes of the Valais, where it is made both bone-dry and as sweet late-harvest wine; a little is also grown just across the border in Italy's Aosta Valley. **At the table** — dry versions pair beautifully with alpine cheeses, freshwater fish and creamy dishes. **Cellaring** — the finest dry and sweet examples reward several years of patience.
