Score 93/100 · Drink 2025-2030, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Dec 2025

A blend of 80% Chardonnay plus various complementary fragrant varietals, the Elena Walch 2022 Alto Adige Beyond the Clouds is a wine with a medium- to full-bodied texture and pretty layers of sweet peach, honey and passion fruit. This hot vintage is a little more opulent and exuberant than most. The vintage is written in Roman numerals as MMXXII, and 14,000 bottles were made.

The 2022 Grande Cuvée Beyond the Clouds is intense, with a smoky burst of mineral and stone giving way to sweet sage and crushed nectarines. It is balanced within, cooling and lifted, seeming to hover across the senses with ripe orchard fruits complicated by a saline tinge and nuances of candied citrus. This lingers long, structured, with cheek-pinching tension and hints of raw almond that fade slowly. The 2022 shows a riper character than usual, yet still needs time to integrate.
