Gewürztraminer 2023 - 14% vol. Elena Walch Winery

Description: 
The Gewürztraminer, with its typical dry Alto Adige charm and personality, gleams in intense straw yellow with hints of gold reflections.

The wine presents itself rich in finesse on the palate, with fresh fullness, harmonic elegance and a long finish.
