Elena Walch farms the Kastelaz vineyard in Tramin, a steep, south-facing site with limestone-rich soils ideal for Gewürztraminer. Hand-harvested fruit is fermented in stainless steel to preserve varietal purity.

The 2022 captures the grape’s aromatic intensity and natural richness, balanced by Alto Adige’s hallmark freshness. A flagship white in Walch’s portfolio.

Antonio Galloni

"A sweetly seductive blend of tropical melon, minty herbs, sweet smoke and lime sorbet makes the 2022 Gewürztraminer Vigna Kastelaz impossible to resist. Round and luscious on the palate, this blends ripe orchard fruits with sweet spices and tactile mineral tones, all propelled by brisk acidity. It cleans up beautifully through the finish, crisp and fresh, with a sour citrus tinge that puckers the cheeks and keeps the mouth watering for more. The 2022 is a wine of contrasts that possesses the balance for a long and steady evolution." —Eric Guido

Wine Spectator

"This finely meshed white is silky in texture, with lightly honeyed notes of lychee, melon, tangerine peel, grapefruit sorbet and tarragon sculpted by vivid acidity. Light- to medium-bodied in weight and graceful, with a long, expansive, smoke- and spice-laced finish. Drink now through 2030."

"A true classic, this Gewürztraminer from the historic Vigna Kastelaz is a master class in elegance and restraint. The sun-drenched vineyard, caressed by cool breezes, imparts a freshness that perfectly balances the wine’s inherent richness. Citrus, spice and pepper dance on the palate, leading to a finish." —Jeff Porter
