The wine
Description and technical sheet
With Kristallberg, Elena Walch turns to higher elevations to bring out Pinot Bianco’s precision and mineral character. This Alto Adige white is made from 100% Pinot Bianco grown on elevated vineyard sites between Tramin and Kaltern, at around 600 metres, including a sunny, porphyry-rich mountain terrace.
A mountain-grown wine shaped by the 2023 vintage
A warm, dry early summer gave way to August rainfall and a favourable autumn ripening period. The wine offers fresh pear and white-fleshed fruit, with hints of green walnut, mineral nuances and a subtle smoky touch. Its juicy freshness, savoury character and vibrant acidity are matched by an elegant structure.
Twelve months in large wooden casks
Hand-harvested grapes are gently pressed and the must is statically clarified before fermentation in 25-hectolitre wooden casks. The wine then matures in these vessels for 12 months, with prolonged contact with the lees, gaining texture while retaining energy.
Food and serving
Serve at 13–15°C with poultry, white meats or fresh cheeses. The winery suggests an ageing potential of 3–8 years. The 2023 vintage earned 94/100 from James Suckling and 92/100 from Falstaff.
