Lake Kaltern Classico Superiore Per Sé

Kalterersee as a serious matter: Elena Walch's Per Sé shows what the Vernatsch grape can achieve from the South Tyrolean classic region when taken seriously in the vineyard and cellar.

The Elena Walch winery is one of the most famous addresses in South Tyrol. Based in Tramin on the Wine Road, the family cultivates single-vineyard wines on porphyry and limestone — soils that bring structure and minerality to the wine. Only those who use grapes from the strictly defined classic region around Lake Kaltern and meet minimum alcohol and aging requirements can call themselves Kalterersee Classico Superiore — a DOC quality level with high standards.

In the glass, fresh ruby red. The nose shows sour cherry and violets, plus white pepper and a hint of dark chocolate. On the palate, light-weight with fine-grained tannins and lively acidity — typical for Vernatsch, which, when from a good source, never seems massive, but fluid. The finish is dry and pleasantly tart.

The Winery

Elena Walch

Elena Walch – architect by passion, winemaker by conviction. Since 1985, she has dedicated herself to her vineyards with full commitment. Her motto: "Good wine does not grow by itself!"

She has uncompromisingly transformed the two South Tyrolean cru sites, Castel Ringberg and Kastelaz, which are solely owned by the family. Piece by piece, she converted the pergola systems into modern Guyot cultivation with Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet, and Merlot.

The result: low yields, healthy grapes, gentle aging with targeted use of wood. Fruity, elegant white wines – and red wines, pure "tigers on velvet paws." South Tyrolean top class with a clear signature.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
