Elena Walch is a renowned family-run winery in Alto Adige, Italy, known for spearheading a quality revolution in the region. Founded by Elena Walch, an architect who married into a prominent wine family, the estate has gained international acclaim for its innovative approach to winemaking. Now led by Elena's daughters, Julia and Karoline, the winery manages 90 hectares of vineyards, including the prestigious VIGNA Castel Ringberg and VIGNA Kastelaz sites. The estate is celebrated for its varietal wines, single-vineyard "Vigna" wines, and award-winning cuvées like "Beyond the Clouds." Committed to sustainability and terroir-driven winemaking, Elena Walch produces wines that reflect the unique characteristics of Alto Adige's Mediterranean climate and high-altitude vineyards, resulting in fresh, fruity whites and concentrated, velvety reds with distinct personality and elegance.
Our Elena Walch Lagrein shines with a dense, deep garnet red color. The complex bouquet is subtly spiced, with hints of cocoa, wild berries, and sweet cherries in the background. Noticeable tannin structure, smooth richness, elegant yet robust character, and a youthful freshness define the palate, culminating in a long, juicy finish.
