The Gewürztraminer Vigna "Kastelaz" is an international benchmark for the variety. With a rich, golden yellow color and a beguilingly complex bouquet both elegant and mineral, with aromas of roses and lychee as well as subtle acacia honey. On the palate, the wine is convincing and complex with an elegant structure, stimulating acidity, harmonious-spicy freshness and a delicate, vibrant finish. A wine with finesse and character.
Perfect accompaniment to shellfish, crabs and lobster and blue cheese.
Wine Advocate Review:
The Elena Walch 2020 Alto Adige Gewürztraminer Vigna Kastelaz (with 14,000 bottles made) shows a bright golden color and, as expected, quite a fragrant bouquet. There are pungent aromas of acacia flower, honey, tuberose and sweet peach. The nice thing is that these aromas feel slightly more controlled or contained compared to other neighboring expressions of this grape from the Italian Dolomites. Those honey-like favors cede to baked apple and custard cream. Best After 2022
