Producer Information

The estate’s portfolio of wines includes local grape varieties such as Pinot Grigio, Lagrein and Schiava, as well as Germanic varieties including Mller-Thurgau and Riesling alongside Gewrztraminer, Chardonnay and Merlot. Elena Walch has 55 hectares (136 acres) of cultivated vineyards around Alto Adige, including its two most prestigious vineyards: Vigna Kastelaz and Vigna Castel Ringberg. Vigna Kastelaz occupies south-facing chalky slopes that overlook the village of Tramin and is primarily planted to Gewrztraminer and Merlot. The 20ha (49 acre) Vigna Castel Ringberg vineyard is situated in Caldaro, close to the 17th Century Castel Ringberg built by the Hapsburg family. This vineyard is the largest single vineyard of state’s vineyards and wine cellars in Tramin and Caldaro.its kind in Alto Adige and sits at an altitude of 1080 feet (330 meters) above sea level. It is here that the estate cultivates its more well-known grape varieties including Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as the more regional-specific varieties, Lagrein and Schiava. The Vigna Kastelaz and Vigna Castel Ringberg vineyards are the foundation of Elena Walch’s extensive wine range. They are also the basis of its single-vineyard red and white wines that are drawn from selected vineyard parcels. A prime example is the estate’s Vigna Castel Ringberg Kalterersee, a Schiava-based wine aged in a mix of Slavonian and French oak barrels and steel vats for between one to four years.
