The reputation — the story that sells at the table

Elena Walch's Kastelaz Gewürztraminer is one of Italy's most celebrated white wines, demonstrating that the variety's birthplace (Tramin/Termeno) can produce the world's finest expression of this uniquely aromatic variety.

Practice
Elena Walch is one of Alto Adige's most respected and distinctive estate wineries, producing single-vineyard wines from two estate sites — Kastelaz in Tramin and Castel Ringberg above Caldaro Lake. Elena Walch's Gewürztraminer from the Kastelaz site (the Tramin commune gave Gewürztraminer its name) is considered Italy's finest expression of this aromatic variety. Her Pinot Grigio, Pinot Bianco, and Lagrein demonstrate the full range of Alto Adige's terroir diversity.
