Description
Elena Walch has been christened "Queen of Gewürztraminer" by wine critics and with “Concerto Grosso,” another great wine from the birthplace of the variety, confirms this status. Since founding her estate in Tramin, Elena Walch has focused on the indigenous grape variety and carried the name out into the world. With great devotion, Elena Walch is dedicated to exploring the different soils and microclimates and their expression in one of the finest grape varieties in the world. The “Concerto Grosso” derives its name from the concert form of baroque music of the same name in Italy, reflecting the "Baroque" style of this wine. Since its first year in 2015, the “Concerto Grosso”, the "great concert", is her newest tribute to the home of Gewürztraminer.

Encouraging quality and innovation, Elena Walch stood at the head of the Alto Adige quality revolution and has gained local and international esteem for her efforts. An architect by trade, Elena Walch married into one of the oldest and most significant wine families of the region and brought new, modern concepts to the traditional establishment. Now, the responsibility for the family business is being put into the hands of the daughters, Julia and Karoline Walch, already the fifth generation.
The philosophy of the estate is dedicated to its terroir – the idea that wines must be the individual expression of their soil, climate and cultivation in the vineyard – and that this must be maintained according to principles of sustainability and passed on to the next generation. The firm belief that the quality of wine is created in the vineyard requires uncompromising work, taking into account the individuality of each vineyard. With 90 hectares in cultivation, including the two top vineyards VIGNA Castel Ringberg in Caldaro und VIGNA Kastelaz in Tramin, Elena Walch belongs to the most important protagonists of Alto Adige winemaking.
The wines show character, elegance and great personality, reflecting the most professional winemaking. The superb climatic conditions and the excellent location of the vineyards produce fresh and fruity white wines as well as concentrated and velvety red wines. Read more
