VINIFICATION Traditional temperature controlled fermentation of about 10 days in stainless steel tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation in French and Slavonian oak barrels of 70 and 22hl. Maturation in large wooden barrels.
TASTING NOTES Our Lagrein Elena Walch gleams invitingly with its intensive and dense garnet red colour. The complex bouquet captivates with discreet spicy aromas, with cocoa together with wild berries and sweet cherries in the background. Distinctive tannin structure, smooth fullness, playful yet rustic elegance and youthful freshness as well as a long, juicy finish classify the palate.
TERROIR Warmer sites on calcareous soils with clay and sand on both sides of the ridge, southeast and southwest facing. Severe selection employed.
FOOD PAIRING Full-flavoured, savoury dishes such as venison, game, red meat or mature cheeses.
