Pinot Blanc 'Kristallberg' by Elena Walch is a 'mountain wine' that emphasizes verticality, complexity and minerality, typical characteristics of this vine. It comes from a vineyard on a plateau at 600 m.s.l.m. between Tramin and Caldaro, to guarantee its freshness. It comes with many facets and great minerality. It is striking for its fresh and clear straw yellow and the bouquet of aromas of fresh pears and white-fleshed fruit combined with the spicy notes of green walnuts and light mineral and smoky aromas. Elegance and sapidity convince on the palate, as well as a youthful and stimulating liveliness combined with a fascinating play of acidity. A wine of great charm.

Elena Walch is a leading Alto Adige wine estate, in family hands, and belongs to the elite in Italian wine production, with international success.
Encouraging 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 Walch 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.
