The taste of the Badner - The taste of the Gutedel

The Gutedel, also known as Chasselas or Fendant, especially in Switzerland, scores with an almost neutral taste that stems more from the terroir than the fruit. On the deep and not too dry loess and limestone soils, the grape variety blossoms yieldingly and widely. Light and full of minerals, the wine harmonizes with a balance of fruit and structure. Mild acidity, sparing alcohol and light nutty-fruity aromas make the Chasselas wine an uncomplicated companion for all occasions. Chasselas are usually vinified dry and drunk young, although high-quality Chasselas white wines have a storage potential of up to 5 years.

Origin of the Chasselas

The grape variety is said to have been cultivated in the El Fajum oasis as long as 5000 years ago. However, the latest findings point to the Western Alps as the region of origin. Today, the Markgräflerland, the canton of Wallis, a small part of France and also the wine-growing region of Saale Unstrut are noteworthy regions in which Gutedel plays a prominent role. The Markgräflerland, in particular, is profiled as a Gutedel center and also takes this role seriously, as the numerous events, such as the Gutedel Day, the Gutedel Cup and the Markgräfler Gutedel Prize illustrate. Therefore, it is not surprising that the main cultivation area of the Chasselas is located exactly there.
