Descrizione

The Gewurztraminer Alto Adige DOC by Elena Walch is an aromatic white wine that expresses the grape's character in a clear and immediate way. Straw-colored, it shows intense and refined aromas, with floral notes and hints of exotic fruit, ripe citrus and delicate spices. On the palate it is enveloping, with a soft texture and a gustatory progression that highlights the aromatic profile, while the persistence leaves fragrant traces that invite a second sip. The overall profile remains balanced, without excess, suitable for those who seek a perfumed yet measured white.

It lends itself to pairings with aromatically driven dishes: light Asian cuisines, spiced fish, white meats and soft cheeses. It can also work as an aperitif wine in convivial settings. To best appreciate its nuances, it is recommended to serve it chilled and to pour it into generous glasses that favor the development of aromas. Elena Walch's offering presents itself as a versatile choice for lovers of flavorful, aromatic white wines, without claims of extreme complexity.

Winery history

Trained as an architect, Elena Walch raised the international profile of her family estate by modernising vineyard and cellar practices and emphasising single-vineyard expression. In recent years leadership has been progressively assumed by her daughters Julia and Karoline (fifth generation).

Production philosophy

Strongly terroir-driven approach: emphasis on single 'Vigna' sites, manual vineyard work, sustainability-oriented practices and careful cellar ageing (e.g. French barriques and extended bottle ageing).

Terroir and vineyards

Estate and vineyards located in Alto Adige/Südtirol (Termeno/Tramin, Caldaro). Calcareous and varied soils; climate combining summer warmth with cool Dolomite winds. The producer cites Vigna Castel Ringberg as a single vineyard of about 20 hectares; Vigna Kastelaz is a steep terraced site above Tramin.
