In Switzerland, the common name (also Haida, Haida wine, Heiden, Heiden wine or fr. Païen = pagan) for the white grape variety Traminer (Savagnin Blanc). This is cultivated in vineyards at 1,100 meters above sea level between the two municipalities of Visp and Visperterminen in the canton of Valais which are among the highest in Europe. From this, the eponymous white wine specialty is produced. The grapes ripen in an alpine climate with large temperature differences between day and night, contributing to the intense aromatic and acidity structure of the wine.
