Fendant 2023
Valais, Switzerland · Chasselas (Fendant) · Natural Wine
Fendant 2023 from Ô Fâya Farm is a fresh, delicate and beautifully pure expression of Valais’ most emblematic white grape, Chasselas (locally called Fendant). Crafted with minimal intervention and guided by a deep respect for the land, this cuvée captures the crystalline freshness of Alpine viticulture.
Tasting Notes
A bright and elegant Fendant showing white flowers, crisp pear, citrus peel and subtle mineral notes. The palate is light, refreshing and finely textured, with the gentle salinity typical of mountain-grown Chasselas. Naturally fermented, unfiltered and with low sulphur, it preserves the grape’s finesse and precision.
Producer
Ô Fâya Farm is a biodiverse, Bio Suisse–certified estate where vines share space with sheep, cows, donkeys and fruit orchards. Led by Ilona Thétaz, the farm embraces a holistic approach to agriculture and minimal intervention in the cellar: native yeasts, careful handling and a commitment to authenticity.
Pairing Suggestions
Perfect as an aperitif, and ideal with raclette, fondue, freshwater fish, vegetable dishes, light salads or alpine cheeses. A classic Swiss pairing wine with a natural edge.
