Elena Walch Vigna 'Castel Ringberg' Sauvignon 2022

The ending is a light mineral presence, while the impression is influenced by by a note of tropical fruitiness. The conclusion is surprisingly bright, but the overall character is tempered by a noticeable lime zest note. The nose is short and sweet, with a wisp of freshness. The ending is well-balanced, with a clear northern terroir influence.

A disappointing experience with this white wine from Elena Walch, which failed to impress me. The nose is somewhat one-dimensional, with a honey-like aroma and a wood-like undertone, meanwhile the taste is nostalgic of brown leaves. The follow through is average, with a medium length, but the aftertaste is unappealing. The brightness is unusually low, which is unusual in a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. The all around impression is one of mediocrity.

Wine that stands out from the crowd, with a unique blend of suggestions that evoke the sweetness of apricot, pineapple, and honey on the nose, accompanied by a smooth, creamy tactile quality on the palate, and a follow through that persists pleasantly. A well-crafted wine that is sure to please.
