{"title":"Andreas Tscheppe","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"136\" data-end=\"305\"\u003eAndreas Tscheppe has been following his own path since 2006, farming and making wines according to biodynamic principles in southern Styria, near the Slovenian border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"307\" data-end=\"650\"\u003eThe vineyards, painstakingly terraced to his own design, retain a wild, vibrant energy. At 500 meters above sea level, they are alive with wild herbs, ground cover, and a thriving insect community. Insects are central to Andreas’ philosophy: his wines are even named after them, as he sees them as the truest indicator of a healthy vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"652\" data-end=\"996\"\u003eIn 2006, Andreas left his family estate to start his own winery with his wife, Elisabeth. The couple focuses primarily on white varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Gelber Muskateller, and Goldmuskateller. Some of which undergo skin fermentation. This method allows them to craft orange wines that are both timeless and remarkably clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"998\" data-end=\"1322\"\u003eA defining feature of the wines is the region’s opok soil, composed of consolidated, fine- to medium-grained sedimentary rocks, marl, clay, illite, and silt in shades of brown, gray, or blue. The exceptionally high mica content of these soils is thought to impart the distinctive graphite notes found in Tscheppe wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1750\"\u003eBiodynamic vineyard management, minimal cellar intervention, at least 18 months of aging in large barrels on fine lees without racking, and minimal sulfur at bottling are the guiding principles behind his wines. Since 2024 Andreas works alone in his new cellar, after leaving his brother's cellar of the old family house, Weingut Werlitsch.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"andreas-tscheppe-blaue-libelle-sauvignon-blanc-plus-2020","title":"Andreas Tscheppe Blaue Libelle Sauvignon Blanc PLUS 2020 \/ EXCLUSIVE","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEXCLUSIVE ITEM: 1 BOTTLE \/ ORDER\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eTo ensure that as many of you as possible can enjoy these rare bottles, please respect the limit above when placing your order.
