Elena Walch Gewürztraminer 0.75L

Gewürztraminer is South Tyrol's parade discipline — and Elena Walch is one of the wineries that interprets this grape variety with particular consistency. The family winery based in Tramin, the namesake town of the variety, manages vineyards in the Überetsch and Brixen valleys and stands for a clear, single-varietal style without excesses.

A fine golden yellow in the glass. The nose opens with rose petals and nutmeg, behind which is a hint of lychee and white pepper — the aromatic density for which Gewürztraminer from this region is known. Full-bodied and soft on the palate, with a pleasant fullness that is kept in balance by the dry, spicy finish. No heaviness, no sugar — a Gewürztraminer that shows that richness of aroma and freshness are not a contradiction.

Best served at 10–12 °C. Classic companions: spicy dishes of Asian cuisine, blue cheese like Gorgonzola, or a goat cheese with honey. It also makes a good figure as an aperitif — especially if the group prefers aromatic diversity to a lean acidity line.
