Pinot Grigio DOC 2023 Elena Walch 750ml

VARIETY
100% Pinot Grigio

VINIFICATION
After harvest, the grapes are carefully crushed and pressed. The fresh must is statically clarified at low temperatures and then gently fermented at a controlled temperature
of 20°C in steel tanks. The young wine matures in steel tanks for several months on its fine lees.

TASTING NOTES
Our Pinot Grigio captivates with light straw yellow and fruity notes of ripe pears, white pepper and a bit of sage in the nose. Mineral- salty richness and a crisp acidity are
distinctive on the palate. A wine with backbone!

TERROIR
Steep slopes with southeast and southwest orientation between 250 and 600m. An interplay of brisk mountain and warmer mid-level vineyards. Calcareous soils with clay,
sand and porphyric parts. Handpicked with the utmost care.

VINTAGE 2023
We are delighted with an interesting 2023 vintage! Even though we have experienced a challenging growing season with alternating warm and cool periods with some rain,
we have had a fantastic harvest season with the best possible weather conditions for ripening. After a midsummery June and July, followed by high rainfall at the beginning of
August, the grapes were able to benefit and ripen for a long time from the optimal conditions with plenty of sunshine. Harvest began late in early September with ideal
weather conditions which were only replaced by more unstable weather towards the end. Warm daytime temperatures and cool nights allowed the grapes to reach optimum
ripeness with balanced acidity levels and clear fruit, and good structure.

FOOD PAIRING
An extremely versatile wine for many occasions and interesting combinations: as an aperitif as well as an
accompaniment to full-bodied first courses, drilled fish dishes and cheese fondue.
