History
Johannisberg was first mentioned in Valais in 1862. Its
name certainly comes from the Château de Johannisberg in
the Rheingau region. Blanc du Rhin appeared at the same
time and corresponds to Sylvaner. Johannisberg from the
Valais has been protected since 1966 and is now the
second most famous Valais white wine in Switzerland.

years old, grown on the rocky terraces of the Chamoson
hillside, beneath the Haut de Cry massif. at an altitude of
500 - 580meters; Guyot pruning for a yield of 850 gr/m2;

Grape variety
Sylvaner is the result of an ancient natural cross between
Heïda in Valais and Traminer.

Vinification
