About the Producer

Elena Walch is a leading, family-run Alto Adige wine estate, which belongs to a restricted elite of forward-looking, quality-inspired Italian wine producers. Encouraging quality and innovation, Elena Walch has stood at the head of the Alto Adige quality revolution and gained local and international esteem for her efforts. An architect by trade, Elena Walch married into one of the oldest and most significant wine families of the region and brought new, modern concepts to the traditional establishment. Now, the responsibility for the family business is being put into the hands of the daughters, Julia and Karoline Walch, already the fifth generation.

The philosophy of the estate is centred on the idea that wines must be the individual expression of their soil, climate and cultivation in the vineyard and that this must be maintained according to principles of sustainability and passed on to the next generation. This requires uncompromising work, taking into account the individuality of each vineyard.

The wines show character, elegance and great personality, reflecting the most professional winemaking. The superb climatic conditions and the excellent location of the vineyards produce fresh and fruity white wines as well as concentrated and velvety red wines.

Vineyard

Elena Walch has 60 hectares of land under cultivation, including the two top vineyards VIGNA Castel Ringberg in Caldaro and VIGNA Kastelaz in Tramin. This is the most typical terrain for Gewürztraminer with its loose soil characterized by high lime content, but also deep sandy tracts and porphyritic rocks. Warm days with abundant sunshine, accompanied by cool mountain evening temperatures, produce characterful and elegant Gewürztraminer of classic beauty.

Vinification

Before processing, a 6 hours maceration on the skins takes place. The grapes are carefully pressed and the must undergoes static clarification before being fermented in stainless steel tanks at the controlled temperature of 18°C.

Ageing

The young Elena Walch Gewürztraminer wine matures in stainless steel tanks for several months on its fine lees.

Tasting Notes

Deep straw yellow with golden reflections. Classic Gewürztraminer notes are mirrored in the bouquet, with intensely aromatic notes of rose petals, lychee, tangerine, red grapefruit, white flowers and spices. The wine displays rich finesse on the palate, with fresh fullness of flavours to fully reflect the aromatic characteristics; it impresses with its harmonic elegance and long finish.
