2023 Pinot Grigio Vigna Castel Ringberg, Elena Walch
Trentino, Alto Adige, Italy
Elena Walch is a leading Alto Adige wine estate and this stunning Pinot Grigio is from a Cru vineyard in the hills overlooking Lake Caldaro, in the “Castel Ringberg” estate. The moderating influence of the lake and the strong afternoon drying southerly wind known as “Ora” contribute to the balanced, elegant character of the wine.
In the glass a clear straw yellow colour characterises the Pinot Grigio Vigna “Castel Ringberg”. A complex variety of fruits, especially ripe pears and lime blossom, as well as spicy sage notes inform the bouquet. Structure and elegance, power and harmony dominate the palate, combined with creamy fullness and density. A single vineyard Pinot Grigio with a lot of character!
This versatile wine goes with many dishes based on vegetables and fish. The lively and well balanced acidity of the wine and the rich aromatic range also make it ideal as an aperitif.

Elena Walch is a leading Alto Adige wine estate that encourages quality and innovation. Elena Walch stood at the head of the Alto Adige quality revolution and has gained local and international esteem for her efforts. An architect by trade, Elena married into one of the oldest and most significant wine families of the region and brought new, modern concepts to the traditional establishment. Now, the responsibility for the family business is being put into the hands of the daughters, Julia and Karoline Walch, already the fifth generation.
The philosophy of the estate is dedicated to its terroir – the idea that wines must be the individual expression of their soil, climate and cultivation in the vineyard – and that this must be maintained according to principles of sustainability and passed on to the next generation. The firm belief that the quality of wine is created in the vineyard requires uncompromising work, taking into account the individuality of each vineyard. With 60 hectares in cultivation, including the two top vineyards VIGNA Castel Ringberg in Caldaro und VIGNA Kastelaz in Tramin, Elena Walch belongs to the most important protagonists of Alto Adige winemaking.
The wines show character, elegance and great personality, reflecting the most professional winemaking. The superb climatic conditions and the excellent location of the vineyards produce fresh and fruity white wines as well as concentrated and velvety red wines.
