Elena Walch is a leading Alto Adige wine estate, in family hands, and belongs to the elite in Italian wine production, with international success.
Winemaker: Elana Walch
Variety: Gewurztraminer
Farming: Organic practices
VINEYARDS: Blend of vineyard sites up to an altitude of 350 meters, mostly comprised of loose soil characterized by the high lime content, but also deep sand tracts and porphyritic rocks. Warm days with abundant sunshine, accompanied by cool mountain evening temperatures.
VINIFICATION: Entirely handpicked, and 6 hours maceration on the skins. The grapes are carefully pressed and the must undergoes static clarification and is then fermented in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 18°C.
AGING: The wine ages for several months on its lees in stainless steel containers.
TASTING NOTE: Typical dry Alto Adige charm and personality, gleams in intense straw yellow with hints of gold reflections. Classic Gewürztraminer notes are mirrored in the bouquet – intensively aromatic notes of rose petals, flowers and spices. The wine presents itself rich in finesse on the palate, with fresh fullness, harmonic elegance and a long finish.
