The Merlot Riserva 'Vigna Kastelaz' by Elena Walch is an elegant expression of Merlot, one of the flagship wines of the winery. With a soft and velvety sip, supported by well-integrated tannins and a juicy character that returns to the nose thanks to intense notes of ripe red fruit, this wine is suitable to be enjoyed immediately alongside important dishes based on red meat and game, or to be left to rest in the cellar for several years to express its great finesse at its best

reddish sediments from the so-called Werfen layers. Summers are warm and mild, and winters are cold, snowy with sudden frosts. The grape harvest is done manually; alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel with subsequent maceration on the skins for 10 days and malolactic fermentation in wood. It ages for 18 months in barrique.

The Merlot Reserve "Vigna Kastelaz" by Elena Walch presents itself in the glass with a ruby red color with bright reflections. On the nose, one can perceive hints of berries such as raspberry, red currant, and wild violet petals combined with spicy notes of white pepper; on the palate, the sip is fresh, balanced and enveloping with a fresh and mineral finish that balances the structure and invites to drink. It pairs perfectly with cuts of red meat cooked in stew or grilled and local game; interesting also with typical smoked cold cuts. Ideal for accompanying the family holiday table and enjoying a traditional product that reflects the local winemaking history.
