The Elena Walch 2022 "Beyond the Clouds" Alto Adige Bianco DOC is a masterful white blend dominated by Chardonnay, complemented by Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, and other local varieties. It presents a brilliant, intense yellow hue and an aromatic bouquet featuring exotic fruits like pineapple and lychee, intertwined with floral notes of rose petals and subtle hints of toast. On the palate, the wine is dense and complex, offering a creamy softness balanced by refreshing acidity. A discreet touch of oak adds depth without overshadowing the fruit, culminating in a long, elegant finish. This vintage exemplifies the finesse and aging potential characteristic of Alto Adige's premier white wines.
