Gewurztraminer Kastelaz

Discover the international benchmark for Gewürztraminer in a glass with Elena Walch’s Vigna “Kastelaz.” This 100 % Gewürztraminer reflects the unique terroir of Alto Adige and is bottled under the Vigna designation, a guarantee of a strictly defined single vineyard.

The Vigna “Kastelaz” terroir lies near Tramin at 330–380 meters above sea level on a steep south-facing slope up to 63 %. The subsoil consists of loose limestone interspersed with ancient sand layers, granite, and porphyry. Intense southern sun, cooling mountain breezes, and cool nights ensure optimal ripening and refined aromatic complexity.

In the glass, this Gewürztraminer displays a rich golden-yellow hue. The bouquet opens with elegant, mineral notes of rose petals, ripe lychee, and a subtle hint of acacia honey. On the palate, it reveals a refined structure, lively acidity, harmonious spiciness, and a delicate, vibrant finish full of finesse and character.

This Vigna “Kastelaz” is the perfect choice for lovers of aromatic, elegant wines. Pair it with refined dishes such as sushi and sashimi, lightly spiced fish and shellfish, creamy cheeses, or summer salads to highlight the impressive freshness and depth of this Gewürztraminer.
