Elena Walch’s “Beyond the Clouds” is created from selected vineyards in Alto Adige, located at altitudes between 600 and 800 meters above sea level, where the cool mountain air and abundant sun allow for slow and even ripening. The area is defined by mineral-rich calcareous soils, including clay, sand and porphyry, which provide excellent drainage and foster healthy, balanced vines. The southeast and southwest-facing slopes enjoy optimal sun exposure, while cooler evening temperatures preserve the grapes’ natural acidity and freshness. The vineyards are sustainably managed, with manual harvesting and careful vine selection ensuring only the best fruit is used, resulting in a wine that embodies the elegance, freshness and minerality typical of Alto Adige.
A little about Elena Walch
Elena Walch career began as an architect. After marrying a winemaker from a traditional and ancient winery in 1985, she decided to dedicate herself entirely to producing wines in South Tyrol according to her vision, moving beyond single harvests, cultivating more modern varieties, reducing the quantity of the harvest in favor of quality.
Many winemakers were skeptical of her vision, even the first woman in this region in a field that was entirely male and with revolutionary and innovative approaches in a traditional field Elena Wallach helped lead the quality revolution in South Tyrol, today her name is part of the elite of the Italian wine scene, the most prestigious and high-quality winery in Termein.
Currently managed by her daughters Julia and Karin

Brilliant, intensive yellow
a complex, beguiling play of aromas unfurls with fruity nuances of exotic fruits such as pineapple, notes of blossoms and flowers, of rose petals and light toast aromas.
Dense and complex, the wine enthuses on the palate: with fullness and structure, creamily soft and elegant, stimulatingly fresh and juicy with a discreetly incorporated, modest note of wood and a long reverberation of taste.“
Excellent with pasta dishes rich in flavor, fish, cheese and white meat dishes.
