2025 Pinot Grigio – Elena Walch
Elena Walch’s 2025 Pinot Grigio continues the Alto Adige estate’s tradition of producing one of northern Italy’s most expressive takes on the variety. Sourced from cool, high-altitude vineyards that preserve aromatic freshness and crisp acidity, this vintage delivers clarity of fruit balanced with a defined mineral thread—showing that Pinot Grigio can be far more than a simple, easy-drinking staple.
On the nose, pear, crisp apple and citrus blossom take centre stage, lifted by subtle floral hints and a delicate herbal note. The palate is clean and focused, with bright acidity giving energy to flavours of lemon zest, white peach and a whisper of green melon. A gently saline finish keeps the wine poised rather than weighty, letting the fruit and minerality resonate together in a refreshing, sustained close.
This is Pinot Grigio with both precision and presence: approachable upon release yet shaped with enough structure to pair beautifully with seafood and lighter fare.
