The story behind Elena Walch wines is a story of women empowerment. The estate was founded in 1869, four generations later Elena Walch married into the family and revolutionized the family’s wine and helped put Alto Adige on the international map. She drastically improved the quality by lowering yields and changing farming practices. In 1988 she put her name on the label since it was her ideas behind the wine, thus Elena Walch wines were born. Today, the estate is run by Elena’s daughters. The grape variety, Lagrein, is a full bodied red related to Syrah and Pinot Noir, and is one of the most important grapes to Alto Adige. This wine is aged in large oak barrels which imparts a spicy finish with notes of cocoa and intense fruit.
