BEYOND THE CLOUDS ELENA WALCH 2023 DESCRIPTION

Beyond The Clouds, or "beyond the clouds", where only the most ambitious and capable producers dare to venture: Elena Walch certainly succeeds with this wine from Alto Adige, the result of a skillful blend that encapsulates a global vision of the white grape varieties cultivated within the company vineyards. A label where personality, territory, and intense aromas come together with the aspiration of a woman in wine who has managed, with her winery, to establish herself as one of the reference names of the entire region, also thanks to the modern winemaking techniques used.

The Elena Walch winery produces this Beyond The Clouds as a prestigious cuvée, in which all the white grape varieties cultivated in the owned vineyards are found, with a predominance that, in the final blend, belongs to Chardonnay. The different grapes, after harvesting, ferment all together in steel, remaining on the lees for about 3 months; then it moves on to the aging phase, initially carried out in French oak barriques for 10 months, and then, after bottling, for another 6 months directly in glass.

The Beyond The Clouds by Elena Walch is a white wine that, to the eye, takes on an intense golden hue. The aromatic bouquet that presents itself to the nose is complex and layered, with notes of exotic fruit and flower petals alternating with slight toasted hints, deriving from maturation in wood. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with a soft, fine, and elegant sip, where a nice salty component can be found; it ends with a persistent finish. The Beyond The Clouds is a white wine that exceeds expectations, always being a star on every table; an ideal bottle also to give as a gift, as an incentive for all those people who are not afraid to surpass their limits.
