With just 2,000 bottles released, the Elena Walch 2018 Alto Adige Chardonnay Riserva Vigna Castel Ringberg is the sort of elegant Chardonnay that would make a lasting impression with a delicate dish of trout or salmon. Opening to a light, straw-gold color, this three-year-old white is not at all overdone. In fact, this is the very portrait of a poised Chardonnay that has aged quite well, if only slightly. It shows a very nice mineral profile and great definition. This may be the best Chardonnay from the Castel Ringberg vineyard yet.
