Elena Walch Pinot Noir Ludwig 2019

R878.00

Region: Trentino

Tasting note:

“The Pinot Noir “Ludwig” presents itself with a full ruby red color and with elegant concentration and complexity. Fresh fruit notes of heart cherries and redcurrants as well as the spicy hint of pepper and elegant roasted notes characterize the bouquet. On the palate, the wine unfolds its full power and elegance with gripping tannins, a filigree structure and harmonious interplay between subtle spice and elegant freshness – with inviting length and great aging potential.” – Winemaker

“This vibrant Pinot Noir opens with aromas of wild, tart mixed berries, clove and star anise. Savory herbs and forest floor lift out of the glass as the wine opens. Juicy and fruit forward on the palate, the wine is balanced by acidity and dark earth notes.” – Wine Enthusiast 91

“A rather spicy and dark-fruited pinot with dried cherries, blackberries, bay leaves, grilled herbs and some smoke on the nose. Medium body with ripe tannins and a compact core of dark fruit and spice.” – James Suckling 91

Elena Walch is a leading, family-run Alto Adige wine estate, which belongs to a restricted elite of forward-looking, quality-inspired Italian wine producers. Encouraging quality and innovation, Elena Walch has stood at the head of the Alto Adige quality revolution and 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 centred on 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. This requires uncompromising work, taking into account the individuality of each vineyard.

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.
