Elena Walch is a leading fifth generation wine estate in Alto Adige, Italy. This Pinot Grigio is made from sustainable farmed single vineyard, Castel Ringberg.
Round, creamy, full bodied yet mouthwatering with ripe Bosc pear, lemon peel, fresh ginger and white blossom. It’s a Pinot Grigio with lots of character.

bored with Pinot Grigio? this Elena Walch is not your typical Real Housewives' lemon water. Creamy but crisp, with a beautifully persistent almond finish.

I've never had a Pinot Grigio that thrilled me. This one has some nice enough vaguely mineral and pear scents. Medium full, and a bit lower in acid than I expected.

Cream and vanilla. Rich Pinot Grigio with intense flavors. An excellent white wine choice.

Wonderful Pinot Grigio with tropical notes on the nose and a dry, citrus finish. Versatile, it held up both to a swordfish in a butter-capers sauce and a simple spaghetti limone.

People rating this below 90 pts don't get that Pinot Grigio will never be a grand cru Bourgogne Blanc. Compare this against Other Pinot Grigio and you'll instantly see how refined and mineral-rich this is. Aromas of dolostone and apple tart.

Quite an unusual body and complexity for a Pinot Grigio.

Excellent Alto Adige Pinot Grigio. Even my wife said this is so much better than other PG. Lots of acidity, mountain freshness and lots of citrus.
