A blend of 90% Sauvignon Blanc and 10% Chardonnay (Morillon), this is the second wine in the Ex Vero series. The grapes are harvested from the middle section of the steep vineyard, on lighter soils with less-stressed vines. In this part, harvesting takes place in a second stage at medium ripeness, following Ex Vero I from the lower slopes. After hand-harvesting, the grapes are gently whole-cluster pressed and aged on fine lees in large, used Alsatian-style barrels for at least 22 months. Bottled unfiltered, unfined, and without added sulfur. Initially, it shows delicate smoky, flinty reduction and subtle barrel spices, gradually opening up to aromas of green apple, yellow peach, and herbal notes.

Weingut Werlitsch
In 2004, Ewald Tscheppe and his brother Andreas took over their father’s vineyards in Leutschach, near the Slovenian border. The landscape here is strikingly diverse and almost untouched, nature feels vivid and immediate. Vines have been cultivated since Roman times on the region’s chalky marl (Kalkmergel) and clay-rich alluvial Opok soils. The hallmark varieties are Morillon, essentially the local expression of Chardonnay and some of the oldest Sauvignon Blanc plantings in the world outside France.
