Description
The new millennium began with the creation of a new 'Supercuvée', the result of careful selection of the best grapes at harvest, the crowning glory of Elena Walch's range of wines. Thus, the year 2000 saw the production of South Tyrol's first white 'Supercuvée', which has won several awards and is nowadays included in the restricted 'circle' of the best Italian white wines: a selection of the highest quality grapes spread over several grape varieties, together with fermentation and maturation purely and exclusively in wood. The different levels of maturity of the grape varieties used in the blend and the special care given during all stages of vinification are strongly reflected in the preponderant and dominant character of the Cuvée. Indeed, the wine is said to express the best of each vintage from Elena Walch's vineyards 'beyond the clouds', year after year.

| Wine making | Chardonnay dominates this blend. The harvest date of the different grapes from our two 'single vineyards', the percentage of which may vary slightly from year to year, is determined by the optimal ripeness of the Chardonnay. Being a blend, the harvest and processing of all the grapes takes place together and on the same day. |
