Vigna Kastelaz: Elena Walch's Iconic Gewurztraminer Vineyard

Kastelaz has the prestigious additional denomination of VIGNA. It is an additional mention of a smaller geographical origin and designs the smallest historical / geographical unit of a vineyard. Every single Vigna must be officially admitted and registered within the regional government. It expresses the ultimate thought of terroir philosophy with the idea of a parcel wine from an exact plot and hence having a historical or traditional name.

—Elena Walch

This video takes place in one of the Elena Walch VIGNA: Kastelaz. This steep and beautiful vineyard overlooks the town of Tramin, which provides a basis for the VIGNA’s grape: Gewürztraminer.
