Elena Walch Elena Walch Pinot Bianco Kristallberg 2023 750ml

An ambitious wine that shines with an intense mix of blood-orange and white-peach aromas with a flowery touch. Medium-bodied. On the palate, it shows vibrancy and weight with a long, savory and toasted finish. Drink or hold.

Almonds, apricots, cream and some cedar on the nose. Crushed stones, too. It’s medium- to full-bodied with a creamy texture and an elegant, chalky and mineral finish. Drink now or hold. (James Suckling)

A firm spine of sleek acidity structures this linear-driven version, with aromas and flavors of plumped white cherry, poached pear, tangerine peel, salted Marcona almond and dried mint revealing themselves gradually as they expand on the palate and through the minerally finish. Sip this slowly, pair it with food or cellar it in the short term to experience this complex and layered white. Best after 2025. 700 cases imported. (Alison Napjus)

Floral notes waft through the glass, like a collaboration between a botanist and a perfumer. Citrus and orchard blossoms lift the aromas, while the palate is bright and tart, layered with a leesy quality and fresh-cut apples. The finish is mouthwatering and impeccably balanced, where every element shines harmoniously without overshadowing another.

This creamy white shows tension and freshness, revealing flavors of quince paste, passion fruit, green almond and pickled ginger as they expand on the palate and through the minerally finish. Enjoy now or try again in a few years with short-term cellaring. Drink now through 2035. 3,400 cases made.
