When you hear Ermitage, do you think of solitude and monkish retreat? With this wine, I recommend the opposite: stay sociable and don’t enjoy its powerful elegance alone. Picture in your mind’s eye a proud Valais castle and steep vineyards. This charming Valais wine is made from 100% Ermitage grapes, often called “Marsanne blanche”. The Ermitage is my “soul warmer”. I like to enjoy its fruity and round charm after meals with nuts and fruit.
