Elena Walch stood at the head of the Alto Adige quality revolution and has 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 of the family business has been passed on to the daughters, Julia, and Karoline Walch, already the fifth generation. The philosophy of the estate is dedicated to its terroir – with 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.

a fruity bouquet, ripe pears, white pepper and hints of thyme and sage.

Alto Adige is the pinnacle region for Pinot Grigio and is considered much higher quality than Veneto. And it shines brightly in this wine, flavours of rock melon, ripe pears, guava, burnt butter and brioche charge across the palate with a creamy texture balanced by a lovely crunchy, firm acidity. The result makes for a great food wine and a wine that will cellar 3-4 years. Serve with fresh seafood or white meats.
