Elena Walch, Trentino - Alto Adige, Italy
13.50%, Drinking"Brilliant straw. White-pepper tingle over ripe yellow fruit. Intense and a little rich. Just a suggestion of oak. Rich and dense and with lots of citric acidity adding a nice contrast and an almost lip-smacking finish. Very long and focused and extremely ambitiously priced, but apparently already sold out at the estate."
17++ points, Walter Speller, jancisrobinson.com
"This is a fantastic white, with complex aromas of pineapple, mango stone, papaya, honeysuckle, lemon pie, praline, gunflint and salted butter. It’s full-bodied, but elegant and fresh, with a caressing melted-butter feel. Evolving layers of tropical fruit with flowers and subtle nuttiness. Hard to resist. Drink or hold."
96 points, James Suckling
"Yellow orchard fruit, melon, papaya and pineapple nose. A luscious mouthfeel of ripe melon and red apple balanced by lively acidity, creamy oak and a poised and precise finish. A serious quality contender with a long, poised and precise finish. Pitch-perfect now but still lots of life ahead."

A successful architect, Elena Walch married into one of the oldest winemaking families in the Alto Adige in the 1980s and her first vintage under her own name was in 1988, when she became the mountain region’s first female winemaker. She went on to win acclaim around the world, with daughters Julia and Karoline now working alongside her. The pioneering winemaker owns some of the best vineyards in Italy, including two monopoles: Castel Ringberg in Caldaro and Kastelaz in Tramin, both at 300-400m altitude. These are officially recognised with the prestigious geographical domination ‘Vigna’
