The Elena Walch Castel Ringberg Chardonnay Riserva 2021 is a luxurious white wine from Alto Adige, Italy, crafted from Chardonnay grown in the Castel Ringberg vineyard. This 2021 vintage displays a bright gold hue and a complex nose of ripe apple, pear, and lemon curd, with hints of toasted oak, vanilla, and chalky minerality. On the palate, it is rich and creamy, with vibrant acidity, a concentrated fruit core, and a long, elegant finish. Aged in French oak barrels, this wine reflects Walch’s commitment to crafting terroir-driven whites with finesse and power. Perfect with lobster, creamy risottos, or aged cheeses, it offers a sophisticated dining experience. With excellent aging potential, it will evolve over the next 8-12 years, developing richer, nuttier notes. This Chardonnay Riserva is a benchmark for Alto Adige, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts seeking world-class Italian whites.
