Fendant

Wine offers for "Fendant" in find+buy

Common and protected designation for pure white wines from Chasselas (Gutedel) in the Swiss canton Wallis, as well as the common name for the grape variety (also Fendant Blanc). The name derives from the characteristic property of the grape berries to burst or split (fr. fendre = split, become cracked, burst). There are three quality levels. The top wines carry village and site designations, for example, "Fendant de Sion"; the best sites are located in the municipalities of Ardon, Conthey, Leytron, St. Léonhard, Sion, and Vétroz. The second level is called "Fendant de choix" and the third level "Fendant courant", which is usually sold as open wine by the glass. Without wine law concerns, Dorin in the canton of Vaud and Perlan in the canton of Geneva.
