Ripe and powerful and reminiscent of Savignin from the Jura. A very special and majestic wine, one that will only improve with time in the cellar. Some of the best we have seen from this producer.

Ex Vero comes in three flavors: I, II and III refer to the steepness and elevation of the sites with III being the uppermost, steepest and meagerest soils of the vineyards surrounding the Werlitsch winery. Biodynamic farming in the vineyard. The grapes are left on the skins for a few days, pressed and left to ferment spontaneously in large open wood barrels. 2 years of aging on the fine lees are followed by another year in the bottle before its release.

Ewald Tscheppe

Ewald Tscheppe owns a biodynamic farm and winery in Styria, Austria where he has been producing wine since he was 26. The region is covered by steep hills and some places cannot be accessed by tractors or other machines. As a result, he does most of the work in the vineyards by hand. He also is one of the first producers to bring forward biodynamic techniques in the area and is dedicated to create complex and expressive natural wines. While he predominantly uses Sauvignon Blanc, Welshriesling and Morillon, a local variety of Chardonnay, his vines grow on different soils at different elevations which allows him to create diverse wines.
