Dry white wine 2024 Ewa Cuvee  blend  60% Gewürztraminer,20% Müller Thurgau 20%Chardonnay

vintage 2024 Dolomites, South Tyrol,Tremin

An elegant and surprising blend that combines the exotic aromas of Gewürztraminer, the floral freshness of Müller-Turgau and the mineral depth of Chardonnay.

Gewürztraminer gives the wine a prominent aroma of lychee, rose water and delicate spices; Müller-Turgau adds aromas of white flowers and lemon peel; and Chardonnay balances the blend with a medium body and velvety texture with a fresh and salty finish

Not recommended for those looking for a sweet wine

 

Elena Wallach’s career began as an architect. After marrying a winemaker from a traditional and ancient winery in 1985, she decided to dedicate herself entirely to producing wines in South Tyrol according to her vision, beyond single harvests, cultivating more modern varieties, reducing the amount of harvest in favor of quality.

Many winemakers were skeptical about her vision, being  the first woman in this region in a field that was entirely dominant by men and with revolutionary and innovative approaches in a traditional field Elena Walch helped lead the quality revolution in South Tyrol, today her name is part of the elite of the Italian wine scene, the most prestigious and high-quality winery in South Tyrol.

The winery today is Currently run by her daughters julia  and Karin

The winery regularly wins awards including one of the 100 best wines in the Italy by James Suckling, for beyond the clouds vintage 2020.
