Tasting notes

The 2017 Alto Adige Beyond The Clouds shows fragrant white flower aromas with a clear hydrocarbon-like signature of petrol and diesel fuel. Those latter aromas are even more pronounced in a hot and dry vintage such as this that tends to concentrate overall flavors and extract. This wine opens to a pretty golden appearance with tropical fruit aromas and a heavy, mid-weight texture. I would suggest a shorter drinking window here compared to recent past editions of this wine from cooler vintages. The base of the blend is Chardonnay, but many other white varieties are mixed in. Some 14,000 bottles were made.

About this wine

Elena Walch is a pioneering winemaker in Italy's Trentino Alto-Adige region, where Alpine terroir and meticulous viticulture combine to produce world-class whites. Beyond the Clouds is a testament to the estate's commitment to expressing the unique character of Alto Adige DOC, a region renowned for its cool-climate Chardonnay production and crystalline mineral precision.

This Chardonnay showcases the elegance and finesse for which Elena Walch is celebrated. The wine displays a bright, perfumed profile with stone fruit character and medium(+) acidity, reflecting both the varietal's classic expression and the region's cool mountain influence. Medium-bodied and balanced, it bridges the gap between Old and New World Chardonnay sensibilities.

Versatile at the table, Beyond the Clouds pairs beautifully with shellfish, lobster, and white fish preparations, while also complementing poultry, hard cheeses, and aromatic herb-forward dishes. It's equally at home in fine dining as it is at leisurely villa dinners, making it an essential addition to any sophisticated wine collection.
