It's hard to believe that a wine grape can be the impetus for a revolution, but it happened in France in the late 18th century. The Revolution in France was sparked by the peasants in the countryside who were tired of being overworked and taxed heavily. But it was their love of this particular grape that changed everything. The demand for Fendant wine is also increasing, as more and more people are discovering its unique flavor.

The Grapes That Sparked a Revolution
The Fendant grape is a native of the Valais region of Switzerland. It is a white wine grape that is also known as Pinot Gris in other parts of the world. The Fendant grape has been grown in the Valais region for centuries and is one of the most important grapes in the Swiss wine industry.
The Fendant grape was thrust into the spotlight in the early 1980s when it was used to make a new style of Swiss white wine that was very different from the traditional Swiss wines that were made at that time. This new style of Swiss white wine was dry, light and refreshing, and it quickly became popular with both Swiss and international consumers.
The wines made from Fendant are typically dry, light and fruity, with good acidity levels.
Fendant is a versatile grape that can be used to make a wide variety of wines. It can be made into a dry white wine, or a sweet dessert wine. It can also be used to make sparkling wine.
