H is for Heida
not Heidi. This is a white wine fromt the Valais canton, from a grape probably dating from before Christianization, hence the name (“Heiden” is German for pagan, or Heathen). In French-speaking Valais, the grapes are known as Païen, in Geneva as Savagnin blanc, and as Traminer in Germany. Heida wines smell of citrus and exotic fruits, of green nuts and honey, and often have lightly smoky echoes. And they mature unusually well. With their full body and structure-giving acidity, they can easily withstand 20 years in the cellar.
The iconic Matterhorn (or Cervin, as it is called in French) is depicted on the label here and also in the negative space of the A, which you'll see if you look at it large size.
