Elena Walch is considered a pioneer in Alto Adige, not only for the fact that she was one of the most important female winemakers in Italy, but also for introducing innovation into the region. Marrying into the Walch family she gained access to some of the best parcels of fruit, and subsequently sought to improve production from soil to bottle.
“A sweetly seductive blend of tropical melon, minty herbs, sweet smoke and lime sorbet makes the 2022 Gewurztraminer Vigna Kastelaz impossible to resist. Round and luscious on the palate, this blends ripe orchard fruits with sweet spices and tactile mineral tones, all propelled by brisk acidity…possesses the balance for a long and steady evolution.” – Eric Guido, Vinous
