THE REVIEW OF CHARDONNAY RISERVA VIGNA CAStEL RINGBERG ELENA WALCH BY LUCA STROPPA

The producer

Elena Walch is in charge of a company with vineyards that can be undoubtedly considered among the most beautiful in Alto Adige. The company is located in the former Jesuit monastery, owned by the Walch family since 1869, in Termeno (a small village 30 km from Bolzano). The town of Termeno is well known for its white wines, but especially for its Gewürztraminer (which is said to be born in this place). The estates of Elena Walch overlook Lake Caldaro and are divided into Castel Ringberg and Kastelaz. Their beautiful location is a major contributor to the high quality of the wines produced here.
