The story

Completer is one of Switzerland's rarest indigenous grapes—grown almost exclusively in Graubünden.

Perhaps 10 hectares exist worldwide. The grape was nearly extinct.

The wine's unique character—oxidative notes, honeyed richness—defies categorization.

Technical deep dive

Full-bodied whites with distinctive oxidative character.

Flavor profile: honey, nuts, dried fruit, herbs, slight oxidative notes.

Modern producers also make fresh versions.
