Elena Walch is a leading family-run winery in Alto Adige, the flagship of Italian wine production and internationally renowned. Promoter of quality and innovation, Elena Walch has helped lead the Alto Adige quality revolution, thus earning great local and international consideration. The winery's philosophy is closely linked to its terroir: wines should be unique expressions of their soil, climate and work in the vineyard, and the vineyard should be worked according to the principles of sustainability and bequeathed to the next generation. The Riesling that is grown here, which is usually harvested towards the end of August, or in any case at optimum ripeness, undergoes a soft pressing and ferments in stainless steel, followed by long contact on the lees before bottling. Light straw yellow in colour, with fruity hints of peach, white flowers and sweet, fresh spices, the finish is white pepper and elegant mineral notes. An intense freshness explodes on the palate, with a mineral structure and natural elegance. Wonderful served as an aperitif, but incredible when paired with seafood, fish dishes and shellfish.
