Therefore, the variety is considered to be a Swiss variety, although genetical analysis points to a relation with Colombard (Provence) and an identical profile to a grape called Miousat that can be found in the French Pyrenees region. The working hypothesis is therefore, that this grape made its way along the French Mediterranean, and up the Rhone river until it reached Switzerland. In the middle of the 20th century the grape has nearly been extinct, but dedicated effort of Swiss growers re-established a significant area. The grape is a fairly delicate grape, with a fruity profile of apple, yellow pear, a hint of quince and good floral characteristics. Linden flower and some resemblance with needle tree (pine) aromas can also be found. As Wallis is a fairly cool climate region and wines often grow on 700-800 meters altitude, the grape ripens fairly late, holding medium-plus acidity levels while developing medium alcohol levels around 13-13.5% and concentrated mature fruit aromas.
