The story
Ancient origins
Pagan roots
Vertigo farming
Long before ski lifts dominated the skyline, Visperterminen villagers were planting Savagnin Blanc on vertigo-inducing slopes. Locals call it Heida, derived from "Heiden," meaning pagans or heathens, implying this wine is ancient enough to predate local Christianity. It adapted perfectly to the extreme alpine environment, surviving harsh winters to produce concentrated, golden nectar that kept high-altitude farmers warm during snowstorms.

Why it's special
Europe's highest
Rich texture
Electric acid
Extreme altitude farming defines every bottle. We are talking about Europe's highest continuous vineyards, sitting over 1,100 meters up in the sky. At this height, the sun burns brighter, creating intense ripeness, while the freezing nights lock in razor-sharp acidity. It creates a rare paradox where the wine feels rich, oily, and heavy in the mouth, yet zaps your tongue with electric freshness.
