Elena Walch

Light straw yellow in color; fruity notes of ripe pears, white pepper and hints of sage on the nose; prolonged mineral salt on the palate. A wine with backbone and a likeable companion to many dishes.

88 PTS WILFRED WONG. A well-focused effort, the lively red currant-like '03 Elena Walch Lagrein offers crisp tart fruit flavors that simply invite a meal; excellent with braised chicken and pilaf.
