Humagne Blanche or Humagne is a white Swiss wine grape[1] planted primarily in the Valais region. The total Swiss plantations of the variety in 2009 stood at 30 hectares (74 acres).[2]
The grape produces a full bodied wine that is more rich than Amigne and Petite Arvine, but more neutral in flavour than the latter.[3][4]
DNA profiling at Changins in Switzerland and Aosta in Italy established that Humagne Blanche is not related to the red Swiss variety Humagne Rouge.[4]
