Elena Walch Chardonnay Selezione

A Chardonnay from South Tyrol that reflects its high altitude: cool, precise, with an acidity structure that combines freshness and substance.

Elena Walch is one of South Tyrol's most renowned wineries. The family cultivates vineyards in Tramin on the South Tyrolean Wine Road and the historic Castel Ringberg estate on Lake Kaltern – both locations known for their mineral precision and aromatic clarity. The Selezione Chardonnay demonstrates what alpine vineyards can achieve with this grape variety: no heaviness, no excessive oak, but rather elegance with structure.

A bright golden yellow in the glass. The nose offers aromas of ripe pear, citrus blossom, and a hint of white peach. The palate is lean and lively – delicate acidity that supports the wine without overpowering it. The finish reveals a subtle mineral note and fades cleanly.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Pairs well with pike-perch with butter and caper sauce , light poultry in cream sauce, or a mature mountain cheese from the Vinschgau Valley. Also a reliable choice as an aperitif with grilled vegetable skewers. Drinking window: now until 2027.
