Humagne Rouge Quintessence, Caroline Frey 2023
Red Wine from Switzerland - Switzerland
Humagne rouge is one of the indigenous varieties of the Valais region in Switzerland and is one that Caroline Frey is fully embracing having taken over this tiny six-hectare estate. Caroline says that it is a delicate grape to work with but one that offers so much charm. The first parcel is located in the commune of Fully, at the lieu-dit Les Perches, where the soils consist mainly of gneiss with loess and slightly calcareous moraines. The second parcel lies in the commune of Leytron, on an alluvial cone containing about 17% limestone. The wine spends 12 months in barrel, of which 20% is new French oak. Very pale in colour, this red is dominated by red fruits and herbal hints with a tangy acidity and fine chalky tannins. Drink this year to 2032. 14%
