A blend of mostly Chardonnay with a small selection of other white grapes, the Elena Walch 2018 Alto Adige Beyond the Clouds is fragrant and bright with a little sliver of Italian sunshine locked deep within. It reveals yellow rose, orchard fruit, dried apricot, pine nut and acacia honey. This vintage is less overtly perfumed than previous editions I have tasted. Beyond the Clouds appears dry in terms of mouthfeel in 2018, whereas previous vintages showed a little more softness and fruity plushness. If this vintage represents a turning point in the wine's style, I give it two thumbs up. I love the linearity and the refreshing acidity. Production is 14,000 bottles.

This lovely, fragrant medium-bodied white offers succulent nectarine and melon fruit that is well-meshed with accents of lime blossom and Marcona almond. Enlivened by a sleek acidity, there is a rich streak of spice, graphite and stony mineral that plays out on the finish. Expressive, yet very elegant throughout. Predominantly Chardonnay. Drink now through 2028. 1,200 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Alto Adige Select to Add
