Territory, Vineyards, and Stylistic Identity
The production heart of Elena Walch extends over 60 hectares of vineyards, with plots that interpret the character of South Tyrol in different ways. The areas of Caldaro and Tramin are central to many of the labels present, allowing for the production of wines with a clear, tense, and territorial profile. The work in the winery, also based on gravity processes, is designed to preserve aromatic integrity and fruit quality, with particular attention to reds and wines destined for aging.
Among the most prestigious labels are the wines linked to the Argentum Bonum – Silberstollen project, aged in an underground environment with constant temperature and controlled humidity. This choice enhances the longevity and finesse of selections such as Gewürztraminer Vigna Kastelaz and Chardonnay Beyond the Clouds, two very different interpretations united by depth and precision.
