Beyond the Clouds Elena Walch 2021

All grapes that give life to this wine are harvested together when the Chardonnay gets the ideal maturation. The remaining grapes instead will allow to reach a congenial balance between acidity and aroma. This wine is fermented in new barriques, this process gives rise to a decidedly harmonious product. After the alcoholic fermentation, a further (even if partial) malolactic fermentation takes place. Yeast aging and finally a battonage complete the process. A really fine wine, fresh and pronounced this Beyond the Clouds. The intensely bright yellow color announce an aroma and a fruity scent but also a hint of vanilla and a hint of wood. Contains sulphites. Produced by ELENA WALCH SRL - Via Andreas Hofer, 1 - 39040, Tramin/Termeno - Alto Adige - Italy.

THE REVIEW OF BEYOND THE CLOUDS BY LUCA STROPPA

The producer

Elena Walch is in charge of a company with vineyards that can be undoubtedly considered among the most beautiful in Alto Adige. The company is located in the former Jesuit monastery, owned by the Walch family since 1869, in Termeno (a small village 30 km from Bolzano). The town of Termeno is well known for its white wines, but especially for its Gewürztraminer (which is said to be born in this place). The estates of Elena Walch overlook Lake Caldaro and are divided into Castel Ringberg and Kastelaz. Their beautiful location is a major contributor to the high quality of the wines produced here.
