OTHER VINEYARDS

SMALLER JEWELS

Elena Walch’s broad portfolio of vineyards span the best aspects of Alto Adige winegrowing. Classical sun-kissed warm locations, rocky terraces and gentle rolling hills but also cool high-altitude locations up to 1.000m with their short but intensive summer months contribute to blend varietal wines of deep character. Overall, Elena Walch's vineyards span an impressive elevation range of nearly 800 meters, a truly exceptional feature. With this variety of vineyard characteristics, the estate continues relentlessly pursuing quality, today and for the future.
